West Knows . . . Friendship 


Friend n. - A person whom one 
knows and trust. 

Friendship n. - The condition or 
relation of being friends. 

Just as Bo Jackson knows 
everything about everything, stu¬ 
dents at Niles West also know a 
lot of things. Many students at¬ 
tending West know things like: 
math, science, English, a foreign 


language, how much more time 
till lunch, or the location of a 
weekend party. Probably the 
most important thing a person 
could know is friendship. Even 
though the dictionary defines 
friend and friendship in a simple 
statement, the real meaning of 
those two words is much more 
than those definitions above. 

A friend is a person who you 


like to be with. A friend is some¬ 
one who will stay by you through, 
good times and bad times. A 
friend is a person who you can 
trust and depend on. A friend is 
someone who likes you for who 
you are and not what you have. 

Friendship is harder to define. 
Even though there is a dictionary 
entry for the word, the true mean¬ 
ing of friendship can only be ex¬ 


perienced. Experiencing friend¬ 
ship can be done in many ways. 
All one has to do to see friend¬ 
ship in action here at Niles West 
is to walk down the halls. You can 
see friends experiencing friend¬ 
ship by talking, laughing, or hav¬ 
ing a good time with each other 
It is good to know that here at 
Niles West, friendship is alive and 
well.

chance to get to know their representa¬ 
tives for the year.

Agoos, accepts his diploma from Board 
President Marlene Adermann. Over 380 
seniors participated in the graduation

West Knows 
Education 


Senior Karen Miller fixes her hair in the 
reflection created by the bulletin show¬ 
case. Adaptability and good grooming 
characterizes a mature senior. 



Study hall held during all mods of the 
day provide students the opportunity to 
work on daily assignments. Senior Sung 
Kang puts finishing touches on his English 
composition.

A Niles West education will 
provide a strong basis for the fu¬ 
ture due to the myriad of topics 
available for study in the class¬ 
rooms, the laboratories, the 
range, the pool, the prairie, and 
playing fields. Students can ex¬ 
periment with different interests 
until they find a specialty they 
can excel at, whether it takes the 
form of a course, a club, or a 
sport. Favorite subjects in high 


school often become the basis of 
the graduates’ chosen profes¬ 
sions. 

As the seniors look forward to¬ 
ward college, trade school, or 
work, they slowly realize some of 
the material covered in high 
school will, in fact, come back to 
help or haunt them in their future 
endeavors. They find high school 
not only gives direction to count¬ 
less confused, frustrated teens, 
'but it assumes the role of a 
guardian as it invisibly guides stu¬ 
dents through a simulated real 
world situation complete with 
competition and rewards, friend¬ 
ships and love, and failure and 
achievement. Some may hate the 
high school experience, but it 
will, no doubt, have a huge influ¬ 
ence on students’ lives. 


Opening 5

a valued part of every students day. 


West Knows ... Participation 


West really knows how to get 
all of it’s students involved in one 
activity or another. There are few 
schools that have as many clubs 
and organizations as Niles West. 

For example, at Niles West 
there are clubs to save our envi¬ 
ronment, like WHO and ENACT. 
These clubs try to motivate peo¬ 
ple to recycle and eliminate the 
hazardous things in our environ¬ 
ment. A vast number of Niles 
West students are members of 
S.A.D.D., an organization to pre¬ 
vent people from driving under 


the influence of alcohol. 

West knows how to get in¬ 
volved in governmental activities. 
Here at West, we have three 
branches of government- Stu¬ 
dent Union, Student Senate, and 
Class Cabinets. All class levels 
can be involved. 

Niles West also gets involved in 
academics. The debate team ar¬ 
gues its way to the top. The Aca¬ 
demic Bowl team always shows 
their intelligence. 

West knows music, too. There 
is a strong tradition of music, 


which involves the band, orches¬ 
tra, and the four choruses. 

There is ethnic activity for ev¬ 
eryone. West supports culture 
with the Korean Club, Hellenic 
Club, German Club, Spanish 
Club, Phillipino Club, and French 
Club, just to name a few. 

As you can see, West knows 
how to really get involved in their 
school career. West hopes that 
all can benefit from all of the 
sponsored activities and partici¬ 
pate.

Desperately 
Seeking 
Senior Status 


Being a Junior has an up side 
and a down side. On the up 
side, only one year separates 
juniors from graduation. Juniors 
have the distinction of the title 
“upperclassmen” and respect 
that goes with it. They can be 
members of a varsity sports 
team, drive to school instead of 
taking the bus, and attend 
prom. 

However, the life of a junior 
does not consist of all partying 
and life in the fast lane. Juniors 
have to start worrying about 
college. The PSAT, ACT, and 
the SAT all await the college- 
bound junior, who also have to 
take the required test on the 
state and federal constitution. 
Juniors also have yet another 
drawback to their already com¬ 


plex and challenging life be¬ 
cause they live in the shadow of 
the seniors. Unlike seniors and 
freshmen, juniors as well as 
sophomores have a hard time of 
obtaining from others because 
they’re just in the middle; nei¬ 
ther the lowest nor the highest 
class. 

Even though juniors have 
many challenges, the rewards 
of these challenges will make 
them forget all their trials and 
punishment they have endured. 
Juniors receive the coveted title 
of “Seniors” at the end of the 
year, and with that title come all 
the rewards and benefits that 
this year’s Senior enjoyed. All 
the juniors need to do is to wait 
till next year.

Juniors! Juniors! Juniors! 


Juniors! Juniors! Juniors! The roar of their 
shouts filled the gym during a pep assembly 
at the beginning of the year. With their exul¬ 
tant cries, the new class of juniors shook off 
the last vestiges of underclass status. As 
juniors, they could finally walk with semi- 
proudly tilted heads. 


With two years of high school experience 
under their belts, juniors look forward to their 
year, for the year’s end means the beginning 
of senior year. During the students’ third 
year, they triumphantly drive to school and 
go to prom. But in between these times of 
fun also exist times of worry and frustration. 


PSAT’s, ACT’S, SAT’s, and in some cases 
the Advanced Placement Program make the 
periods of stress even more intense. 

To many students, junior year represents 
a balance, a middle ground, perhaps, be¬ 
tween the seriousness of freshman and 
sophomore years and the fun of senior year. 



The Juniors ‘‘go wild” at the back to school assembly. 
Truly spirited fans often paint their faces and display red 
and white.

Junior Matt Silverberg helps Peter Hepner do his home¬ 
work while Tamara Rio, Abbie Greene, and Rob Tuchs- 
cherer observe. Students frequently use the cafeteria to 
do homework and to talk with friends. 


Tests! Tests! ... And More Tests! 


A myriad of tests await Juniors as they 
attempt to qualify for their perspective col¬ 
leges. The tests and their confusing initials 
include the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude 
Test/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying 
Test (PSAT/NMSQT), the Preliminary 
American College Test (P-ACT), the Scho¬ 
lastic Aptitude Test (SAT), the American 
College Test (ACT), and the Achievement 
Tests (ACH). 

The PSAT serves as practice for the actu¬ 
al SAT. Students who receive an exceptional 
score may qualify for a National Merit Schol¬ 
arship. Sophomores sometimes take the test 
as practice for the scholarship competition. 


The P-ACT also serves as practice, this time 
for the actual ACT. 

Students usually spend a majority of their 
time preparing for both the SAT and the 
ACT, the two major college entrance exams. 
The SAT splits into six test sections: two 
verbal sections, two mathematics sections, 
and two sections for the Test of Standard 
Written English (TSWE), a test to identify a 
student’s English level. The highest compos¬ 
ite score possible equals 1600, with the 
maximum of the verbal and math sections 
800, respectively (the TSWE does not count 
in the final score). English, Mathematics, 
Reading, and Science Reasoning compose 


the four sections of the ACT. The total possi¬ 
ble composite score of the four tests adds 
up to 36. Eastern and Western schools 
mostly use the SAT, whereas Midwestern 
schools predominantly use the ACT. 

The ACH, the least known of the three 
college entrance exams, comes in a variety 
of different subjects. Colleges usually require 
three tests, one in English, one in mathemat¬ 
ics, and one of student’s choice from sub¬ 
jects such as history, a science or a foreign 
language. Scores range from 200 to 800. 

Junior year, easily called the testing year, 
can make or break college-bound students 
who eagerly await word of acceptance.

Future 

Visions 

Although Juniors still have another year of High School to com¬ 
plete, many of them must start thinking about what their plans are 
after they graduate from Niles West. Whether it is going to college, 
joining the armed forces, or entering the working world, serious 
thought has to be given to the topic. To help those who may still be 
undecided, a list has been assembled to provide examples.

2. Attend medical school - Marco DeGuzman 

3. Work as a brewery taste tester - Matt Hibner 

4. Working with my band “Road Kill” on the road - Joe Pettinato 

5. Own a chain of “Contempo Casuals” stores - Maya Monroy 

6. Being a member of the Army Reserve - Mike Keane 

7. Being a pilot - Kevin Christenson 

8. Own a landscaping business - Carlos Concha 

9. Be a gourmet chef - Jeff Warden 

10. Getting married in August of 1995 - Marisa Mangul

West Knows ... 
Music 


Music plays a very important 
role in the social lives of West 
students. Concert T-shirts, such 
as Billy Joel, New Order, and 
Skid Row can be spotted every¬ 
day and cliques have formed by 
mutual musical interests. 

The five most popular music 
types at West consist of the fol¬ 
lowing types: new wave, heavy 
metal, rap/house, classic rock, 
and Top 40. Other less popular 
types of music include Christian 
rock and classical. 

New Wave music, most likely 
the music of the 21st century, 
consists of three major categor¬ 
ies: techno-pop, industrial, and 
alternative rock. Techno-pop, il¬ 
lustrated by Depeche Mode and 
Erasure, solely use keyboards 
as instruments. Industrial, as 
exemplified by groups like Min¬ 
istry and Nitzer Ebb, also use 
keyboards, but have a harsh, 
rough edge. Alternative rock 
utilizes guitars and drums in ad¬ 
dition to keyboards, as shown 
by The Cure and The Stone 
Roses. New Wavers tend to 
shave parts of their hair and 
wear a lot of black. 

Heavy metal also divides into 
groups: glam metal and thrash. 
Glam metal sounds like pop 
music with a heavy guitar edge. 
Examples of glam rock groups 
include Poison and Warrant. 
Metallica and Megadeth, exam¬ 
ples of thrash metal, use guitars 


to their fullest extent. Both glam 
rockers and thrashers wear 
black, but they also wear con¬ 
cert T-shirts and (usually 
ripped) jeans. 

Rap and house became in¬ 
creasingly popular this year, 
with M. C. Hammer logging the 
number one album for well over 
fifteen weeks in the Fall of 1990. 
Rap and house do not need a 
definition, but will always have a 
good beat. More popular rap 
artists include the M. C. Ham¬ 
mer, Public Enemy, and the 2- 
Live Crew. Fans of rap and 
house usually don Z-Cavariccis. 

Classic rock includes any 
rock song five years or older, 
but mostly from the sixties and 
seventies. The biggest artists in 
this category include the Grate¬ 
ful Dead, Led Zepplin, and Pink 
Floyd. Classic rockers usually 
wear tie-dyed T-shirts and a 
crystal necklace. 

Top 40 can be defined plainly 
as pop/rock. Artists include 
New Kids on the Block, Madon¬ 
na, and George Michael. A Top 
40 dress code does not exist. 

Other than Top 40, the other 
four categories inspire their fans 
to live their lives according to 
the philosophy of their music. 
All music lovers deserve respect 
for their individual taste instead 
of judgment based upon their 
appearances.

West Knows ... 
Style 


From subdued basic black to 
bright screaming neon, students 
roam the halls of Niles West with 
their own touch of style. Not only 
is school a place to learn, it is a 
runway for both guys and girls to 
show off their individualized 
taste. 

Minus the flashing lights, stu¬ 
dents transform into walking bul¬ 
letin boards as they display their 
favorite groups, brands, and or¬ 
ganizations, across their chests. 
These include Girbaud, Z. Cavar- 


icci, Nike, Metallica and Depeche 
Mode. Clothes say a lot about a 
person. This can range from “I 
grabbed whatever was clean” to 
“I meticulously chose each and 
every piece of my ensemble.” 
Students may dress as preps, 
wavers, or housers while still oth¬ 
ers may choose ripped jeans and 
a big comfortable college swea 
tshirt. 

Styles may come and go, but 
individualism is here to stay ... 

for WEST KNOWS CLOTHES! 



Freshmen Melissa Becker and Elinor Aztipis prepare for P.E class wearing the new red 
and gray uniforms. Introduced for the first time this year, the new uniforms can be 
bought at the school instead of at Murphy’s Sports.

West student’s gather in the cafeteria following the end 
of the school to talk and gossip. This social atmosphere 
serves as a spot where students wait for the bus after 
club meetings and sports. 



While chanting “Go home freshmen!’’, the Juniors 
stand and show their spirit. Being a Junior is advanta¬ 
geous during assemblies because they sit on the main 
floor as opposed to the balcony.

I Wanna 
Be A 
Senior 

From the moment Freshmen step into 
freshmen year, they feel jealously towards 
the Seniors. Because the Juniors are next to 
hold this honored title, They have many dif¬ 
ferent reasons to look forward to senior year. 
Some would-be Seniors offered these rea¬ 
sons for their envy: 

“Having an easier class load” Lisa Abrams 
“Being one year closer to getting out of 
here” Ramy Antar 

“Prom and Senior Ditch Day” Anjali God- 
bole 

“Being above everyone else - the name Sen¬ 
ior” Abbie Greene 

“A sense of superiority and Senior Prank 

Day” Peter Hepner 

“Graduation!” Matt Hibner 

“Picking on Freshmen” Eva Kardaras 

“Not having to worry about S.A.T.’s” Carrie 

Kim 

“Senioritis and being admired by the fresh¬ 
man girls” Vinnie Luisi 
“Football and being the oldest ones in 
school” Steve Novakovsky

West Knows ... 
Clubs 


Many students aside from their 
academic responsibilities, involve 
themselves in after school activi¬ 
ties. This year there has been an 
substantial increase in student 
participation in the various clubs 
offered at West. These clubs run 
in a variety of different areas. 

Spanish, French, German, Phi- 
lopino, Korean, and Italian club 
are available to students regard¬ 
less of ethnic origin. Students 
participating in these clubs enjoy 
many activities throughout the 
school year and broaden their 
cultural horizons. Once a year 


these clubs participate in Interna¬ 
tional Night in which they ex¬ 
change cultural experiences. 

Clubs such as Medical Ca¬ 
reers, Radio Control Car, Ecol¬ 
ogy, and hockey bring together 
students with common interests 
while enabling them to pursue 
their interests in these areas at 
the same time. 

W.H.O. (West Helps Others) 
and Amnesty International unite 
students who wish to help others 
in their quest to make the world a 
better place. 

Growing environmental con¬ 


cerns are arousing the interests 
of many students and encourag¬ 
ing them to join EnAct (The Envi¬ 
ronmental Action Group) and 
Rain Forests club. Students in 
these clubs work together to 
save the planet by taking envi¬ 
ronmental protection actions. 

West in its effort to involve its 
students and to keep up with 
their interests, supports clubs like 
these and encourage new organi¬ 
zations to form, so that more stu¬ 
dents get involved.

Wise Fools 


Webster’s Dictionary defines, the word 
“sophomore” as a student in the second 
year of college or secondary school. The 
word sophomore comes from two Greek 
words: “sophos” meaning wise, and “mo- 
ros” meaning moron. Put together, the word 
“sophomore” really means wise moron. 

After observing second year students, 
one can easily understand why sophomore 
means wise moron. Before becoming soph¬ 
omores, students had to go through their 
first year in high school as freshmen, under¬ 
going many harsh times. Upperclassmen 
knocked them around, ridiculed them and 


made them the butt of all their jokes. Finally 
they survived and became sophomores. 

As sophomores they feel like stars in the 
high school scene, finally fitting in. They 
think they know everything, and taunt fresh¬ 
men, even though, in reality, they remain 
underclassmen. 

In their first week of school, the sopho¬ 
mores walk around the building as if they 
own the place. When the assemblies roll 
around, the sophomores feel special be¬ 
cause they can holler “Go Home Fresh¬ 
men!”. Some sophomores get licenses, the 
privilege to drive, and their own cars. Al¬

though still unable to park in the school lot, 
they may drive over to Laramie Park and 
Touhy Macs, where the upperclassmen 
hang out. They usually make fools of them¬ 
selves when they try to park their cars and 
can’t, or when they get knocked around by 
the seniors. 

Although sophomores think they’re hot 
stuff, seniors constantly remind them of 
their underclass status and treat them as 
such. By the end of the year, sophomores 
aren’t nearly as high on themselves as they 
were in the beginning, and of course they’re 
nearly juniors instead of “wise morons.”

Sophomore year comes as a 
refreshing new start to many un¬ 
derclassmen. Freshman year, a 
beginning of a higher level of 
education, seemed unreal to 
many tenth graders. As an incen¬ 
tive to floundering freshmen, 
sophomores list the following ad¬ 
vantages that they have to look 
forward to in tenth grade: 

Lisa Branick- We don’t have to 
eat lunch at school anymore be¬ 


cause of off-campus privileges. 
Yun Jin Kim- I have more free¬ 
dom than I did freshman year. 
Jamie Kron- We know what to 
expect from the school. 

Josh Reznik- Sophomores get to 
pick on freshmen. 

Tom Struck- You know more of 
the teachers and students. 

Jim Tsagalis- We are admitted to 
more parties.

The Wise Ones 


Rrrriinnng! The first day of 
school. Mike, a typical student, 
steps off the bus into the school. 
Looking around with bleary eyes 
as he walks down the hallway, an 
important fact slowly filters 
through his mind. Finally it hits 
him when he walks into his 
homeroom. No one has called 
him “Freshie” or thrown a 
penny. Better yet, he realized 
that as of that morning, he has 
become a sophomore and no 
longer a freshman. 

Revenge time! He won’t be the 
butt of a freshman joke any 
more; he’ll be telling them. Now, 


he will do to the freshmen what 
the upperclassmen had done to 
him the year before, throwing 
pennies, locking him into a 
locker, and selling elevator 
passes. With that in mind, he 
starts his first day as a sopho¬ 
more. Halfway through the day, 
he discovers that soon he’ll be 
taking driver’s education so he 
can join the driving elite. He feels 
elated and proud to a sopho¬ 
more, gladly forgetting the em¬ 
barrassing experiences of the 
year just passed, as he accepts 
all rights and privileges of sopho¬ 
more status.

many good things to those who

After successfully completing 
an 18 week course and passing 
the final test students r ecave 
their driver's icenses. Overcome 
by reief and excitement stu¬ 
dents now face many open 
doors. No longer must they 
travel by foot or bike. No longer 
must they thrust their ways on to 
cramped buses to get to ther 
destinations. Best of alt, no 
longer must they accept being 
chauffeured here and there by 


their parents. 

With each day behind the 
wheel and on the range, stu¬ 
dents move one step closer to 
receiving licenses which spell 
both RESPONSIBILITY and 
FUN A license brings a whole 
new set of problems such as 
getting parents to hand over 
their precious cars. Needy stu¬ 
dents must grove put on out- 
landteh acts, or win their parents 
over with thar charm. Drivers 
must also find ways to get money

West Knows Food 


All the money spent on vending machine 
junk food could add up to buy a restaurant. 
The hassle of waiting in line for half a lunch 
period (when you could be flirting with that 
cute guy at the table next to you) or buying 
an over priced plate of tasteless macaroni 
and cheese doesn’t appeal to many people. 
So, many students go for the quick and 
convenient choice of popping a few quar¬ 
ters in a machine and getting something 



which is sometimes satisfying, but not al¬ 
ways very healthy. 

Throughout the day, students can be 
seen crunching Doritos, chewing Twizzlers, 
or gulping a can of Coke. Due to the rule of 
no food or drink outside of the cafeteria, 
students are often caught by teachers with 
an illegal Hershey’s bar in their hands. 

The many fundraisers, held by the various 
clubs and organizations, are another alter¬

native to the consumption of the cafeteria 
food. The rustling of a Charms Blow Pop 
being unwrapped or the sound of rolling M 
& M’s is often heard in classrooms. Other 
favorites include the Caramel, Krunch, and 
Almond chocolate bars. 

Junk food will always be the most popular 
choice when weighed against dealing with 
the lunch line ladies!

West Knows ... Dates To Remember 


Students are often told that 
high school encompasses the 
best years of one’s life. Starting 
with the beginning of school in 
September, Niles West offers a 
multitude of activities and pro- 
grams for student participation. 
Niles West knows that: 

The highlight of September, 
the Frosh-Soph Mixer, allows 
freshmen to meet and socialize 
with their peers for the first time. 
It also gives sophomores a 
chance to reunite and catch up 
with friends they lost touch with 
over the summer. 

October stirs school spirit with 
the arrival of the Homecoming 
festivities. Students paraded 


around Oakton, Friday, October 
12 after school. That evening the 
Indians played their arch-rival 
Highland Park in football. Satur¬ 
day night, October 13, Niles 
West held the Homecoming 
dance. 

What many students believe 
to be the best part of the school 
year, winter break, began De¬ 
cember 21. These two weeks 
provided students with a time to 
relax and recoup after an ex¬ 
hausting first half of the school 
year. 

Pack the Place was held Janu¬ 
ary 12, as the Niles West basket¬ 
ball team faced Roosevelt in a 
basketball competition. 


Students displayed their act¬ 
ing/music ability Jan. 19, at the 
lip sync contest. Prizes went to 
the top finishers. 

March 2 marked turn-a-bout, 
that time of year when it’s the 
girls turn to ask out the boys, and 
treat them on the date. 

A full year of planning by the 
junior cabinet went into prom, 
held May 17. Prom’s a fitting 
culmination to four years of hard 
work, and sends seniors off on a 
high note. 

A fine farewell awaited seniors 
at graduation, June 9. Graduat¬ 
ing seniors were now free to 
experience a taste of the real 
world on their own.

West Knows ... 
Fashion 


Fashion: Some people are 
slaves to it; others totally ignore 
it. Many teenagers agree that 
fashion makes a statement 
about a person. 

Different fashion ideas repre¬ 
sent different groups of students 
such as New Wavers, Housers, 
headbangers, and preps. 

New Wave girls have bob hair 
cuts, pale faces, and dark lip¬ 
stick. They often wear shiny 
metal-tipped shoes, socks up to 
their knees, baggy pants, and 
T-shirts that represent new wave 
bands such as Depeche Mode, 
Erasure, The Cure, O M D, and 


New Order. Male new wavers 
have haircuts that hang in their 
faces, but short on the sides and 
sometimes shaved in the back. 
They wear black shiny shoes, Z. 
Cavaricci’s, and black and white 
shirts. 

Housers usually wear wild 
shoes, black or white Z. 
Cavaricci’s, and a black or white 
shirt. Housers and New Wavers 
may look like the same group, 
but they listen to different music. 

Headbangers usually wear 
worn-out gym shoes, old jeans 
which sometimes have holes in 
them, and heavy metal T-shirts 


decorated with cracked skulls. 
They may have short hair or long 
hair that sometimes looks un¬ 
combed. 

Preps usually wear paisley- 
print shirts from the Gap. They 
wear penny loafers, with or with¬ 
out socks. They rarely use 
hairspray, except to keep their 
bangs up, and they hardly ever 
put on make-up. 

Different clothing and 
hairstyles serve to identify differ¬ 
ent groups. Perhaps clothes re¬ 
ally do make the person.

Radiant pommers perform at the Home¬

leaders and pommers received new uni¬ 
forms this year. 


Instructed by Leanne Heeren, Christine 
Karkazis, Kristianaa Braovac, Elinor Lee, 
Lynn Noonnark, and Michelle Matsunaga 
do sit-ups during a first year gym class. 
Niles West has disregarded the old blue 
and white gym uniforms for more com¬ 
fortable, better looking red and gray 
shorts and shirts that must be purchased 
by all the freshmen. 





















Freshman Eilene Fernandez and Lynn Noonnark take advantage of the empty 
bleachers to talk. The first year of high school can provide an opportunity to meet 
a lot of new people and establish life long friendships. 


Looking 

Backward 

The one word needed to describe freshman year, must certainly 
be “confusing.” To lowly freshman, high school resembles one 
big maze of hallways and doors. 

Very tall people called “seniors” lead short ninth graders 
around, and tell them the two basic rules of survival in high school: 
a) Don’t let anyone sell you elevator passes. There aren’t any. b) 
Never fix your hair in the mirrored windows. There are people 
inside laughing at you. 

Fortunately, being a freshman wasn’t all that bad, Sometimes 
it was worse! With the theme, “Under the Big Top” spirit week 
initiated freshmen in the usual manner, a humiliating loss. They 
got trashed. 

Freshman year was in itself an experience. Somehow, surviving 
the trials and tribulations dreamed up by upperclassmen, the 
freshmen adjusted to the rigors of high school life with a little more 
skill than predicted by those who underwent the same experi¬ 
ences in earlier years.

Welcome To High School Boys And Girls 


The transition from 8th grade to high 
school consists of many questions, antici¬ 
pations and worries. Everyone looked up to 
the “8th graders”, but upon entering high 
school, each newcomer seems to feel like 
the lonely freshmen - the only one facing 
problems. It seems as though everyone 
except the beginner gets along with others 
and is doing their own thing. The freshman, 
on the other hand, entered a new dimension 


of time and place called HIGH SCHOOL To 
the novice, everything seems foreign and 
the freshman is half the height of THE 
SENIORS. But after a few short months, the 
rookie learns the “rules of the road” and 
stops buying the popular elevator passes 
from the upperclassmen. At that point, the 
many different locker combinations finally 
start sinking into freshmen’s heads and the 
beginners realize, by the end of the first 


semester, that the novice doesn’t have to 
carry the whole locker around to be pre¬ 
pared for class. The rookie looks at the 
seniors unable to believe that freshmen will 
ever reach their status (or height); to every¬ 
one’s surprise, eventually they all do. The 
three years between freshman and senior 
year go quickly and soon the beginner will 
be laughing at how ridiculous freshmen 
looked just three short years before.

Collections 


Among the many things freshmen collect, 
only the most common come to mind. Rank¬ 
ing first on the list, the collection of pennies 
which fly through the cafeteria intended to 
peg some unsuspecting freshman. 

On the bright side, in the course of a week 
a freshman can buy a hot lunch with the 
proceeds of such misfortune. Freshmen 


also collect books off the floor as they 
scurry through the halls during passing peri¬ 
ods. Ninth graders also collect detentions. 
Like helpless sheep, freshmen often find 
themselves lost from following misguided 
directions, picking up books knocked out of 
their hands, and trying to use their elevator 
passes. Thanks to the efforts of the upper¬ 


classmen, freshmen quickly lose their unfa¬ 
miliarity with the deans. Lastly, freshmen 
collect the knowledge that if they survive 
they will eventually become sophomores, 
and will become a part of the school tradi¬ 
tion. 



Boys soccer coach Joseph Brennan instructs young 
team members on strategy. As Freshmen, they have 
many years to become better players through practice 
and experience.

I’m Only A 
Freshman! 


Sophomores have the times of their lives 
by throwing pennies at the freshmen and 
picking on them. Junior have the freedom to 
drive cars, get off campus for lunch, and 
stay out half the night. Seniors can pick on 
anybody, stay out all night, and end the 
school year earlier because of graduation. 
What can the lowly freshmen do to distin¬ 
guish themselves from the sophomores, 
juniors, and seniors? 

Freshmen learn from some of their new 
experiences. They usually carry around 
their “locker”, or all their books in a big bag, 


so they won’t be late for classes. They raise 
their hands in class to answer questions. 
When they are in the halls, they sometimes 
bump into people and drop everything in 
their arms. When they talk to the upper¬ 
classmen, they have to look up. But the best 
things freshmen can do or say if they get 
into trouble is: “I’m so sorry! I didn’t know! 
I’m only a freshman!!” 

Most of the mistakes made by freshmen 
prove to be quite embarrassing, but at least 
their status provides them with a ready 
made excuse for errors.

Indian 

Spirit 

Niles West school spirit is evidence everywhere. Recently the 
appropriation of the American Indian as mascot was questioned. 
But after much review and soul searching the school decided to 
retain the American Indian as its symbol. 

School spirit is a complex thing. It’s most visible signs include 
wearing of school colors and the T.P.’ing of trees. Its most vocal 
signs might be heard at an all school pep rally or football game. 
But as representatives of the American Indian shout, school spirit 
is a noble and honorable possession. It includes an extraordinary 
respect that we have for our favorite teachers and that which they 
so freely share with us. It encompasses the pride we feel for those 
among us who individually and as teams represent us in competi¬ 
tive ways- sports and academics alike. It includes all of those 
memories that make our high school years times that we will 
always remember and cherish. 

As participants and spectators, as leaders and followers, of the 
music and dramatic productions, the wide variety of clubs and 
activities all those special opportunities for us to learn and grow.

West Knows Fun 


» 








Everybody has his own defini¬ 
tion of fun. No matter what defini¬ 
tion you have, Niles West can 
fulfill it. From the back to school 
assembly to the senior break¬ 
fast, Niles West students know 
fun. 

West offers a variety of social 
dances to please its students. 
The underclassmen enjoy the 
Frosh-Soph mixer and the up¬ 
perclassmen have prom while 
Homecoming and the Winter 
Formal give everyone a chance 
to dress up. 


School spirit activities provide 
fun for NiWeHi students. From 
participating in one of the many 
dress up days, such as toga day 
and color day, and lunch time 
games, such as eating cookies 
without your hands and pricing 
objects, to hollering “go home 
Freshmen” at a pep assembly. 
West offers the opportunity for 
enjoyment while getting involved 
in school. 

West offers a wide range of 
clubs. From foreign language 
clubs to environmental action 


clubs, students are given the , 
chance to get together with oth¬ 
ers who share similar interests. 

Students at West are also 
given the opportunity to join an 
abundance of other activities 
that offer a break from the rigor¬ 
ous school day. These activities 
include plays, battle of the 
bands, lip sync, midnight riding, 
along with the smorgasbord of 
language and ethnic clubs. 

All in all West knows FUN.

Back To School 


At 7PM, hundreds of parents returned to 
school to follow their students schedules 
and meet teachers during each fifteen min¬ 
ute class period. Yet unlike students, par¬ 
ents received information but no homework, 
and during freetime and study hall they wan¬ 
dered toward the cafeteria to find an array of 
displays for student government, sports, 
S.A.D.D., cheerleading, West Word, peer 


counseling and other special interest clubs. 
Parents also got a chance to meet the deans 
and counselors, while enjoying free refresh¬ 
ments and buying home baked goods from 
the PTSA. 

By 9:40, the end of this special “school 
day”, parents had left with a better under¬ 
standing, through first-hand experience, of a 
typical student day.

College counselor Frank Mustari discusses college decisions with the students. College 
night along with college visitations help students make final decisions. 


Eight Is 


From school schedules to 
college applications, counselors 
assist students throughout their 
high school lives. Counselors 
Mary Pat Carr, John Chambers, 
Walter Cocking, Barbara Han¬ 
dler, Roberta Jorgesen, Hope 
Kracht, and Tom Meyer, and 
college counselor Frank Mustari 
play an integral role in the 
school success of their stu¬ 
dents. 

A majority of the counselors’ 
work consists of curriculum-re¬ 
lated information, such as 
schedules, scheduling conflicts, 
and course changes. Counsel¬ 
ors also advise students on col¬ 
lege and career planning so that 
in the autumn, college applica¬ 
tions overwhelm them. 

While academics consume 
most of their time, counselors 
also help students with personal 


Enough 


problems. Many students from 
abusive or broken homes come 
to the counselors for guidance. 
In addition, they help runaways 
and frequently work with the 
Department of Children and 
Family Services. Counselors 
also try to make the transition 
easier for transfer and foreign 
students. 

The counselors do enjoy their 
jobs, even though they rarely 
have time for themselves. Tom 
Meyer enjoys counseling be¬ 
cause, “It gives me a chance to 
assist students with everyday 
problems as well as college and 
career choices.” Hope Kracht, 
new this year, adds, “Counsel¬ 
ing provides a way for me to 
help students discover who they 
are and feel better about them¬ 
selves.”

Teachers Have Hobbies Too 


From a student’s point of view, administrators, counselors, faculty and staff members are 
often thought of as mysterious people. The student body only sees them in their work place 
or coaching and advising after school, but what about on evenings and weekends? Spec¬

Students Aren’t The Only Freshmen 


In the past few years, as 
many teachers have retired, 
new staff has been employed. 
Aside from teaching, much of 
the new staff has also involved 
themselves in extra-curricular 
activities after school. 

At the beginning of the 
school year, three new teachers 
for English were hired. All of 
these teachers have above 
average credentials in their 
working field. John Heintz, a 
1990 graduate of the University 
of Illinois at Urbana, presently 
teaches Sophomore English 
and College Prep. After a long 
day at work Mr. Heintz gra¬ 
ciously coaches the debate 
team. After receiving her BA 
degree from University of Illinois 
at Chicago, Judith Yacker went 
on to receive a Master’s from 
UIC in 1988. Ms. Yacker now 
teaches Introduction to Ameri¬ 
can Lit. and Freshman English. 
After graduating from U of I- 
Champaign with a Bachelor’s 
degree, Jean Ordonez teaches 
Freshman English and Compo¬ 
sition Techniques. 

Different teachers have been 
hired to teach various courses 
in science this year. Howard Fo- 
gel teaches chemistry after 
graduating from ISU in 1986 
with a BS and MS in chemistry, 
he also coaches the football 
and wrestling teams. Martha 
Lietz took over Mr. Heopner’s 
job of teaching regular and ad¬ 
vanced physics. Ms. Lietz 
graduated from Carnegie Mel¬ 
lon University with an MS in 
physics. 

Another subject in the cur¬ 
riculum, History, advances 
knowledge on needed events. 
Students must take various so¬ 
cial sciences to graduate and 
pursue a higher education. 
After graduating from North 
Park College in 1989 with a BA 
in History, Scott Dahlberg pres¬ 
ently teaches US History and 
Sociology his fist year. Like 


many of the new teachers, Mr. 
Dahlberg takes time out of his 
own schedule to coach the soc¬ 
cer team. 

The higher than average 
knowledge of the students in 
AP classes challenges the 
teacher to come up with more 
interesting methods of instruc¬ 
tion. Phillip Steffeck teaches 
regular and AP History and 
went on to receive his master’s 
degree from Wheaton College 
in 1984. 

Other positions such as a 
Physical education, health, var¬ 
ious library jobs and counselor 
have also been filled by new 
staff this year. Pamela Foerch 
presently teaches PE and also 
coaches the gymnastics team. 
Ms. Foerch graduated from UIC 
and has a BS in Physical Edu¬ 
cation. After graduating from 
Eastern Illinois University in 
1989, Joyce Van Alstin holds a 
position teaching health. She 
also coaches the swimming 
team. Phyllis Rieman, and li¬ 
brary attendant Ruth Jacobson 
are a lot of help to many stu¬ 
dents at different times. Coun¬ 
selors hold extremely important 
spots, besides scheduling 
classes for students, counselors 
also help out in various prob¬ 
lems related to school. Hope 
Kracht received her MS from 
Northern Illinois University ad 
now holds the position as a 
counselor. She also assists in 
the area of testing. Although 
Cindy Philbin has been working 
here for some time now, this 
year she teaches ESL (English 
as a second language) classes. 
Ms. Philbin also involves herself 
in the extracurricular Drama 
program. 

The recent additions bring 
out the best in the students who 
attend. From the science de¬ 
partment to the library depart¬ 
ment, students and teacher wel¬ 
come new staff. 


Building Administrator Leonard Ackman airs his point of view at a 
team meeting. His input helps administrators make proper decisions 
for the school.

Dr. Ring 



Freshman Nick Rouert and Senior Mike Zwirta talk to 
Carl Geiss. math teacher. Hall monitors are not only in 
the halls to monitor students, but are also there to help 
students with assignments and to answer questions. 


Although students may see him in the hall 
every morning as they drag themselves to 
homeroom, they rarely are given the privi¬ 
lege to learn about or meet principal Donald 
Ring. But one shouldn’t feel left out, because 
thousands of students pass through the 
doors of Niles West without the opportunity 
or reason to ever get to know him. 

So here’s the man who’s never seen “Bart 
Simpson’’, yet in so many ways has played 
such a predominant role in our lives. 

HE IS: Principal Donald Ring 
FAVORITE BOOK: Crime and Punishment 
FAVORITE COLOR: Red and White (of 
course!) 

CHANGES HE’S NOTICED IN SCHOOL: 
“Over the years I’ve witnessed an increasing 
amount of ethnic identity. With the addition 
of the Indian club this year, we now have ten 
ethnic clubs. I also expect a Russian club to 
form by the end of this year.’’ 


POSSIBLE CHANGES FOR SCHOOL: De¬ 
veloping school media services came first, 
along with building athletic facilities, buying 
equipment for the science labs and enhanc¬ 
ing the Fine Arts department. Ring also men¬ 
tioned the possibility of Macs for the “ West 
Word ’’ and offered to relight the Oakton 
Lobby fireplace, on a cold winters day. 
TRAVEL SPOTS AND HOBBIES: When he’s 
not touring Korea and Haiti, you might find 
him skiing in Colorado or enjoying a game of 
tennis. 

TUNES: Although he won’t allow walkmans 
in the hallways, behind closed doors Ring 
listens to Gospel and Classical. 

LAST WORDS: When asked to describe 
Niles West in one word, Ring came up with 
the word “concern’’. When asked why, he 
replied, “ because all around me I sense the 
determination, the caring for one another 
and concern for others.’’

West Knows Staff 


A facility of diverse people 
and personalities, and also 
one with a dedicated staff of 
helpful teachers best de¬ 
scribes our school. The stu¬ 
dents always greatly appreci¬ 
ate these teachers. To find out 
a bit about these educators, 
the tables were turned and 
questions were asked of them. 

For example, physics teach¬ 
er Mr. Carroll and physical 
education teacher Mr. Carr 
agree that the best part of 
their jobs includes, “Getting 
new ideas from the younger 
people, having fun in class, 
and mainly, the students.” Mr. 
Flynn added, “The pay isn’t 
too bad either.” 


When asked how can stu¬ 
dents better understand the 
material you teach Mr. Henrice 
responded, “I’m trying to be 
consistent to the roles and ex¬ 
pectations I have for the stu¬ 
dents. I also explain the mate¬ 
rial in terms and words they 
understand.” 

The last questions teachers 
were asked was what they do

AP: Is It Worth It? 



The Advanced Placement Program pro¬ 
vides a way for high school students to earn 
college credit. The program, run by the Col¬ 
lege Board, tests students on their advanced 
knowledge in various fields, including Biol¬ 
ogy, Chemistry, Physics, United States His¬ 
tory, European History, English, Calculus, 
and foreign languages. 

Students can take any of the tests in any 
year, but students usually take an AP class 
after completing high school level courses in 
that subject. If students feel prepared to 
take the AP test, they pay the fee set by the 
College Board and take the test during two 
weeks in May and receive their results in 
July. 

Generally the tests consist of written and 
multiple choice sections; the language tests 
also include an oral section. Tests, each 
graded by two or three teachers or profes¬ 
sors from around the country in intensive 
week long sessions on university campuses 
throughout the United States, can earn 
grades on a scale from one to five, with a five 
signifying that the student is very well quali¬ 
fied and credit is a strongly recommended. 
More selective universities will only grant col¬ 


lege credit for a four or a five, depending on 
the course, but students may receive partial 
credit with a score as low as a two in difficult 
courses. 

Course work often requires intensive study 
in order to cover all of the material, but the 
benefits for hard work now include saving 
precious time and money since students can 
earn college degrees years early by earning 
substantial credit in high school through the 
program. Advanced Placement gives stu¬ 
dents a headstart in college and the courses 
provide a challenge for bright students who 
have exhausted the high school curriculum. 
By earning credit, students can skip basic, 
introductory classes. The familiar high 
school environment with smaller, more per¬ 
sonal classes benefit students confronted 
with new and advanced material. 

Senior Robin Yu notes, "The classes re¬ 
quire a lot of reading and memorization so 
the pressure can build up for students active 
in extracurricular activities." AP student Sue 
Park feels, "The work now is well worth the 
rewards." Though AP work may seem over¬ 
whelming to the high school student, they 
benefit in the future.

Back To Pre-School 


Not knowing the fun of Child Development 
class, many students sign up because they 
think of it as an easy “A\ While sitting 
around, giving the kids a few toys and play¬ 
ing with them, students also learn a lot. 

Proceeding the arrival of the children, a 
month of classroom work includes informa¬ 
tion about the 3-year-old’s intelligence level, 
types of activities, student’s behavior in front 
of the children and what to do in case of 
injuries. An abundance of toys awaits the 
children in the nursery. Favorites include a 
slide, a tunnel to crawl through, playhouse, 
dress-up clothes, kitchen playset and a post 
office. During the two hours the children at¬ 
tend nursery school, they enjoy many of 
these areas. 





Realization dawns upon senior Mindy Weberman as 
science teacher Don Waddell explains the problem. 


Trick or Treat!! Child Development students take the

The pre-school program consists of a

about ten children. The A.M. class meets on 
Tuesday and Thursday and the P.M. class 
meets on Wednesday and Friday. On the 
days the children do not attend, the high 
school students have classroom work. 

Child Development brings joy and reward 
to students to students who have had a bad 
day. Teens learn a lot from this first-hand 
experience of dealing with children in real 
situations, and there’s never a dull moment. 
Uh-oh! Just the high school student has 
everything under control, he feels a tug on 
his shirt and hears a little voice saying, “I 
have to wee-wee!!”

The Time, They Are A-Changing 


Nearly 2 million years ago, the first forms 
of human beings appeared on this earth. 
From prehistoric times to the 20th century, 
mankind has gone through incredible 
changes. The early civilizations in the Meso¬ 
potamian and Nile River valleys, the times of 
the Greeks and Romans, the Middle Ages, 
the Renaissance, the discovery of America 
by Christopher Columbus in 1492, the es¬ 
tablishment of a democracy called the Unit¬ 
ed States of America on the eastern shores 
of this continent in 1776, and modern times 
are just a few highlights of the history of the 
world. 

In the stories of history, Americans find 
the foundations of their democratic govern¬ 
ment, the fight for independence against the 
British, George Washington, Thomas Jeffer¬ 
son, Alexander Hamilton, the struggles to 


establish a democratic government, and 
how the fighting thousands of men fought to 
preserve our independence. 

Fortunately, the Social Studies Depart¬ 
ment boasts able teachers who can teach 
the lessons of history and help students 
learn to appreciate the democratic way of 
life and not take it for granted. By learning 
from history what mistakes were made, and 
how they were made, students may also 
learn how to avoid these mistakes in the 
future. These lessons will provide effective 
leaders who have learned the lessons of his¬ 
tory later on in our lives that will ensure, as 
Abraham Lincoln said in closing his Gettys¬ 
burg Address, “ ... that government of the 
people, by the people, for the people, shall 
not perish from the earth.”

Languages Of The World 

Nearing the end of the second floor hall¬ 
way, words such as: iHola!, Bonjour!, Guten 
tag!, and Shalom!, may be heard drifting 
from the classroom. 

To graduate from high school, students 
must fulfill certain requirements. These in¬ 
clude, two years of a foreign language. Stu¬ 
dents may choose either French, German, 

Hebrew, or Spanish. Others may decide to 
take a combination of languages. 

Although only two years are required, 
many students decide to pursue their lan¬ 
guage for an additional one or two years, 
hoping to place out in college. “Four years 
of Spanish will be advantageous for me in 


the future because of my international busi¬ 
ness major,” commented Senior, Mike Jana- 
cek. 

There are many levels of difficulty for each 
language to suit an individual student’s 
needs. Included are AP or Advanced Place¬ 
ment classes in which students prepare to 
take an examination. Students who receive 
acceptable or higher scores on the test are 
then eligible for advanced college placement 
in his or her language and/or may receive 
college credit. “Also, you will be saving 
money if you place out,” remarked foreign 
language teachers Elizabeth Robertson and 
Edward Murphy.

In just a few minutes senior Matt Taormina will add another pint of blood to the 
National Honor Society’s annual blood drive. Donors had to be at least seventeen 
years of age to donate blood. 

Before returning to class, donors enjoy a quick snack of cookies and juice. For the 
annual blood drive the Oakton Street lobby is transformed into a mini hospital ward 
complete with recovery area. 



Blood Business 


The reporter enters the room. 
Strewn bodies lie on numerous 
tables. Blood-filled bags hang 
everywhere. Observers may 
think they have just entered a 
haunted house; in reality, they 
have just entered the Oakton 
Street Lobby, site of the NHS 
Blood-drive. 

Drip! Drip! slowly blood begins 
to run from a vein to be conven¬ 
iently collected, packaged, and 
marked. In just forty-five minutes 
the donor has saved a life. Car¬ 
ing Niles West students took the 
time to help their fellow human 
beings during the annual blood- 
drive in April. Workers collected 
approximately 100 pints of blood 
from these students, an increase 
from last year. 


To give blood, students must 
be healthy, 17 years of age, and 
at least 110 pounds. After pro¬ 
ducing the proper permission 
slips, donors proceed to give a 
pint of their best. Following the 
entire procedure they rest in an 
assigned area while they enjoy 
complimentary snacks and 
juices to replace their lost sugar 
and fluids. 

Although slightly groggy, the 
students also feel a sense of 
pleasure in helping out a worthy 
cause. “I felt complete satisfac¬ 
tion because I knew I was doing 
the right thing and helping oth¬ 
ers,,” commented senior Debbie 
Kang. In a life an death situation, 
every pint counts.

Actor Matt Brennan shows a review of 
their production of Hamlet to fellow ac¬

stage manager Jennifer Collins looks on. 
A special performance of Magic Time 
was given for senior citizens residing in 
the school district. 


Senior Bill Homblad practices his solilo¬ 
quy for MAGIC TIME. 


A tense moment occurs in Magic Time when Brian King and Karen Guthrie who play 
husband and wife get into a heated argument, but as the plot unfolds the couple 
resolves their differences. The play was directed by veteran teacher and actor, James 
Clark Batts 

Deep in meditation Brian King hopes to recap the benefits of keeping calm and 
staying cool. In the background Marc Jacobs contemplates a passage from the book 
he reads. 


Thespians Bill Homblad and Marc Ja¬ 
cobs rehearse some “Hamlet Business” 
in the spring play production of Magic 
Time. Playwright James Sherman, a 
Niles West alumnus has written several 
contemporary plays. 


108 Magic Time 












West Grad’s Play Performed 


The production of the spring 
play, Magic Time marks the re¬ 
turn of alumnus James Sherman 
to the Niles West auditorium. 
Sherman, a professional play¬ 
wright who graduated in 1972, 
was actually one of director 
James Batts’ students during his 
time here, and came to help 
Batts direct Magic Time, which 
also opened in New York. 

In addition to attending re¬ 
hearsals and giving feedback to 
the actors in his show, Sherman 
also consented to hold a work¬ 
shop open to all interested stu¬ 
dents in District 219. Many stu¬ 
dents attended the workshop, 


and all agreed that Sherman did 
an excellent job with it and that 
they had fun. Sherman also 
spoke at the Accolades cere¬ 
mony. 

Students involved in Magic 
Time generated tremendous en¬ 
thusiasm over the play and work¬ 
ing with the author. As the play is 
a comedy, actors has quite a 
change from Man of La Mancha, 
which was the preceding play. 
Actors include seniors Matt 
Brennan, Jennifer Collins, Karen 
Guthrie, Bill Holmblad, and 
Jackie Katzman, juniors Marc Ja¬ 
cobs and Brian King, and fresh¬ 
man Daniel Hartman. 


The set for Magic Time, de¬ 
picting the basement of a thea¬ 
tre, was designed by senior Tim 
Sauerman under the direction of 
Cynthia Philbin. Sauerman, who 
intends to go into technical thea¬ 
tre, is the first student to design 
the set for the spring play. 

With more than half the cast 
as graduating seniors, in addition 
to much of the crew, this play 
marked the end of high school 
theatre for many. Collins says of 
Magic Time, “It was exciting be¬ 
cause we actually got to meet 
the writer, and I’m glad that such 
a memorable experience is the 
one that ends my senior year.” 


Sword fights are a very important part of 
Magic Time. Marc Jacobs checks over 
his foil making sure everything is in order.

Prom: Night Of Nights 


The night exploded with ex¬ 
citement as Prom 1990 began. 
Beautiful horse-drawn carriages 
and limousines filled with elegant 
young couples announced to the 
city that that special night had 
arrived once again. 

Over two hundred couples 
traveled to the Knickerbocker 
Hotel on Chicago’s Gold Coast. 
The theme “Don’t Let It End’’ 
was everybody’s wish. 

Following the beat of Don 


Cagen’s Orchestra and the Chi¬ 
cago Production, by Styx, cou¬ 
ples danced into the night. The 
blue lit dance floor added to the 
romance. 

Renee Frake with her date 
Chris Minx thought that “Lasts 
year’s prom was very exciting. 
They played a lot of mixes, which 
everyone seemed to enjoy. 
There were also slow dances, 
which was a great opportunity to 
dance closer with you date.” 


The night highlight arrived 
when Seniors Sal Mancera and 
Grace Diaz were crowned Prom 
King and Queen. 

Post Prom activities included 
dinner at the Pump Room and 
the 95th floor in the John 
Hancock. Boat rides and horse- 
drawn carriage rides proved pop¬ 
ular for prom goers. Overall 
“Prom was very entertaining and 
exciting!” Stated Angie Kano.

Seniors 
Complete 
Final Phase 


On a cool windy day in June, 
formally dressed graduates en¬ 
tered the pavilion at Ravinia Park 
in Highland Park. Each student 
wore the traditional red and 
white cap and gowns. The seats 
filled quickly as parents rushed 
to watch the achievement of 
their students’ high school ca¬ 
reer. 

The commencement opened 
with speeches from Valedicto¬ 
rian Mark Slutzky and co-Saluta- 
torians Tassos Gianakakos and 
Ian Katznelson. Each speaker 
reflected on the high school 
years from what Slutzky de¬ 
scribed as “shy freshman to con¬ 
fident seniors.” Next, the senior 


choir performed the class 
song “Wind Beneath My 
Wings.” 

Before the commencement 
exercise, class treasurer 
Tracy Pecs presented the 
school with a check from the 
class of 1990 to be used for 
the planting of trees to honor 
Earth Day. 

The ceremony ended as 
the new graduates threw their 
caps and an occasional gown 
into the breeze. Later, gradu¬ 
ates celebrated with family 
members before entering a 
new phase in their lives: pre¬ 
paring to start over again as 
freshmen in college. 


Deep in thought, senior Tracy Pecs slowly walks to her graduation ceremony. Tracy 
presented the senior class gift to Dr. Ring. 

Confident graduates wait for the ceremony to begin. The ceremony was delayed due 
10 heavy construction on the Edens Expressway.

The room filled with laughter, as 
the jokes poured out, one after 
another. Although an outsider 
might have seen the assembly 
as just entertainment 
Scharenbroich’s points on indi¬ 
vidualism rang loud and clear. 
He reminded students to be 


themselves and stop worrying 
about the opinions of others and 
start giving themselves a pat on 
the back, a gold star, and a few 
self-encouraging words. 
Scharenbroich made the stu¬ 
dents chuckle at themselves, en¬ 
gulfing them with laughter for 
that brief period of time. There is 
only one other thing to say ... 
Boom Ba Hey West! 


“SHUT-UP!” was the most crowd pleas¬

sic variation. It gave everyone a 
chance to dance.” Sophomore 
Aremis Rubio liked the dance, 
‘‘‘cause you got to hang out, see 
your friends, and dance.” 

As the evening drew to a 
close, and the disc jockey put on 
the final record, many couples 
took to the dance floor for a last 
spin. 


With smiles on their faces, these sophomores pose for a picture at the mixer. The

Looking To The Future 


This year’s College Night was 
the biggest success of all the 
previous college nights. The ex¬ 
pected turnout was to have 327 
schools at this fair, but 20 
schools had to cancel the last 
minute because of complica¬ 
tions. Due to the situation in the 
Middle East the U.S. Army had to 
cancel the helicopter landing. 

College Night was held on 
September 25,1990 at 7:30 p.m. 
and ended at 9:30 p.m. Approxi¬ 
mately four to six thousand peo¬ 
ple attended from twelve differ¬ 
ent high schools, ranging any¬ 
where in the Chicagoland area to 


the North Shore public high 
schools, that do not host a Col¬ 
lege Night themselves. 

The attending college repre¬ 
sentatives were given a survey 
to rate how they liked it, many of 
whom said that they were very 
impressed with the size and how 
well it was run. They also felt the 
students came well prepared 
with very good questions. 

This event gave the students a 
chance to visit with the college 
representatives and to explore 
the wide variety of options that 
colleges provide for them. 



College Night is an important event for students who are planning to attend college. 
Over three hundred college representatives arrived at the College Night to show many 
students the opportunities and advantages they may have.

Character, Scholarship 
Leadership, Service 


Representing the four pillars of 
the National Honor Society, char¬ 
acter, scholarship, leadership, 
and service, the forty-nine candi¬ 
dates of the Society proudly 
walked down the auditorium aisle 
to be inducted. The inductees re¬ 
ceived recognition in two assem¬ 
blies on October 4th. In the 
morning assembly during school, 
the freshmen and seniors attend¬ 
ed. The freshmen attended so 
that they might receive inspira¬ 
tion from the inductees and the 
seniors so that they can recog¬ 
nize what their peers had accom¬ 
plished. That evening, family and 


friends of the candidates attend¬ 
ed. During both assemblies, offi¬ 
cer Mike Weiss recited the 
pledge of the National Honor So¬ 
ciety. Weiss and the three other 
officers, Peter Axelrod, Yvette 
Gatilao, and Kim Loewenthal, set 
the pace for the organization’s 
goals. 

To become a member of the 
National Honor Society, the stu¬ 
dents had to rank in the top fif¬ 
teen percent of their class. They 
also had to participate in at least 
two extracurricular activities. 
After meeting these require¬ 
ments, twelve of their previous 


teachers had to recommend 
them for membership. 

Members in NHS activities in¬ 
cluded the canned food drive in 
December, the Crusade of Mercy 
in February, and the blood drive 
in April. In addition to these an¬ 
nual events, members organized 
a volleyball tournament with the 
Niles North National Honor Soci¬ 
ety.

a variety of events such as the 
video dance, the pep assembly, 
dress up days, and lunch time 
games. 

A casual video dance on Sat¬

Finding The Pot Of Gold 


Eager to win the Homecoming 
Game, students and players 
psyched themselves for victory 
as school spirit filled the gymna¬ 
sium during the pep rally. Dr. 
Ring crowned king Brett Kroner 
and Queen Sandy Delgado and 
began a new tradition of under¬ 
class attendant, Juniors, Brian 
Stone and Heather McKenna, 
Sophomores, Mijo Vodopic and 
Jill Kawanaga, and, Freshmen, 
George Manta and Cindy Lim. 

With a break from the rainy 
week, Friday turned out to be a 
beautiful day for a parade. The 
sound of horns honking brought 


people out of their homes to see 
the commotion. With the theme 
of the Muppets on Sesame 
Street, clubs, and organizations 
travelled around Skokie. Orches¬ 
tra won first place for their cre¬ 
ative float; however, all entries in 
the parade looked beautiful. That 
night, pumped and ready to 
stomp Highland Park, the foot¬ 
ball team refused to take defeat. 
Off to an explosive start, the Indi¬ 
ans led 21-0 over the Giants until 
shortly after the half. Despite the 
large, rowdy crowd and hard-hit¬ 
ting plays, the Indians had an un¬ 
deserved loss with the final score 


of 21-35. 

The “Rainbow Connection” 
helped many football players for¬ 
get their defeat as they dancec 
the night away to great music in 
the beautifully decorated gym. 
After an hour and a half, the 
lights suddenly went off and the 
music stopped. It was a blackout! 
After a few minutes, chaperones 
directed the students to evacuate 
the premises. Although disap¬ 
pointed by the dramatic ending 
to the evening, the students ad¬ 
mitted they would never forget 
this Homecoming experience.

Something In The 
Air Feels Like Tomorrow 


“Something in the air feels like 
tomorrow”, a student-produced 
musical, entertained students 
and the general public for two 
performances in early November. 

The musical, which presented 
experiences from all different as¬ 
pects of high school life, featured 
performers portraying stereo¬ 
typed jocks, cheerleaders, nerds, 
and drug-users. 

‘‘I think the play may have ex¬ 
aggerated normal high school 
life,” said senior Sacha Sohn, 
who played an airhead cheer¬ 
leader. ‘‘But it was still a lot of fun 
and was well received.” Steve 
Venn played Zack, the drugee 


who, with the help of his friend 
Angie played by Amy Tanis, 
eventually overcame his prob¬ 
lems. 

In the process, Zack also helps 
Angie overcome her problems 
with anorexia. The play also dealt 
with students’ pressure to have 
sex, and their dating lives in gen¬ 
eral. 

Finally, George, played by sen¬ 
ior Arnie Sair, continually beat up 
on Finn, the nerd, played by Marc 
Jacobs. This relationship pro¬ 
vided comic relief in the stressful 
play, which the cast and crew 
had worked on for nearly a 
month and a half. 



Lisa and Joey share a warm hug in the student produced musical “Something In the 
Air Feels Like Tomorrow." They were one of the hottest couples focused on in the 
show. 



Emily shows off her stupidity to the rest of the pep squad at the festival dance. The 
theater attracts students ranging from freshmen to seniors. 



Nellie expresses her feelings about the 
planet, and ways to change it, in rap, 
“The Big One.” Cheerleaders, nerds, 
jocks and drug-users were portrayed in 
the musical. 


Zack sings a duet “You never Know." a 
song about changing, with Angie. Long 
hours of hard work and practice really 
paid off.

Children’s Theater “Prince” 
Pleases Patrons 


For the twelfth consecutive 
year, Niles West students have 
performed a play for the chil¬ 
dren’s theater. 

This year, the play was “The 
Prince That Wouldn’t Talk.” The 
play was presented on December 
13 and 14 at 10 a.m. for the feed¬ 
er grammar schools in the Niles 
West auditorium. On Saturday, 
December 15, at 1 p.m., the play 
was open to the public at West. 
This year’s play was about a 
prince that wouldn’t talk because 
he was so frequently interrupted. 
He wasn’t given time to think 
when he was asked a question; 
so he refused to talk. 

Cynthia Philbin, ESL teacher 
and director of the play selected 
the case of the play. The audi¬ 
tions were open to the school 
and 85 people auditioned. The 



cast consisted of Daniel Hart¬ 
man as the prince, Lisa Good¬ 
man as the maiden, Nimrod Tsu- 
bely as the king, Kaye Seber as 
the queen, Marc Jacobs as the 
wizard of voiceology, Todd Fine 
as the wizard of noiseology, Jen¬ 
ny Callisen as the wizard of thin- 
kology and Tania Vujoshevich as 
the narrator of the play. Yola 
Konior and Brett Kozlowski were 
Raggedy Ann and Andy for an 
etiquette skit put on before the 
actual play to teach kids how to 
behave during a play. 

Stefanie Akwa, a first year ESL 
aide and the technical director of 
the play, chose the running crew 
and helped organize the stu¬ 
dents. 

Besides building the set, stu¬ 
dents learned from it. “The kids 
learn a lot of problem-solving 
skills,” said Akwa. “They get in¬ 
dividual projects and decide how 
to go about them. Also, they 
learn group dynamics - making 
decisions and voicing their opin¬ 
ions. We emphasize process 
rather than product - and the kids 
get a great sense of accomplish¬ 
ment.” 

The running crew of the play 
were Josh Ament, Colin Roth¬ 
man, Jenny Leon, Kate Hugart, 
Paul Bonadonna, Chris Matthies, 
and Claud Isfan. 

The students rehearsed after 
school from 3:00 to 5:30 and on 
Saturday from 9:00 to 4:00 for 
three weeks. 

“The actors will perform with¬ 
out music. They’ll have to rally 
work hard and use their body and 
voices to capture the kid’s atten¬ 
tion,” said Philbin. 

“The play is fun in the creative 
process- the kids have great 
ideas. They made a trap door 
and some other neat things,” 
said Akwa. 

“Working with a group of inter¬ 
ested and committed students is 
not a job, it’s fun. I enjoy the kids 
and they really work to get a 
good show,” concluded Philbin. 


Pull cast photo including the well known Raggedy Ann (Yola Konior) and Raggedy 
Andy (Brett Kozlowski). Raggedy Ann and Andy performed a preplay skit and were 
loved by many children. 


The king and the queen discuss an im¬ 
portant matter in the Children’s Theater 
performance of “The Prince Who 
Wouldn’t Talk.” Long hours of practice 
and hard work made this performance 
successful.

Linda Yu Addresses 
Students 


Renowned Chicago newscas¬ 
ter Linda Yu, commemorating 
civil rights leader Dr. Martin Lu¬ 
ther King addressed Niles West 
students recently about the im¬ 
portance of cross-cultural com¬ 
munication and understanding in 
light of the continuing war in the 
Persian Gulf. 

After senior Mike Kaferly sang 
“When the Children Cry” accom¬ 
panied by sophomore Matt 
Berger on guitar, Yu began by 
expressing her renewed under¬ 
standing of the meaning of the 
pledge of allegiance. She then re¬ 
lated a series of formative exper¬ 
iences in her life, explaining why 
each had such an impact. Her 
family left China for Hong Kong 
when the communists took over, 
then left for the United States two 
years later. Her first day in kin¬ 
dergarten, the four-year-old Yu 
was traumatized by a young bully 
and was unable to say more than 
“Thank you.” This experience 
taught her how important it was 
for people from different cultures 
to learn to communicate with 
each other. 

Next, she explained how deal¬ 
ing with a boy in first grade, who 
teased her simply because she 
was different, taught her about 
ignorance about other people, 
and the importance of avoiding it. 
Much later, when she applied to 
the University of Southern Cali¬ 
fornia’s journalism school, her 
SAT scores were so contrasted 
with the traditional Asian student 
stereotype that the director of 
admissions wanted to see her 
personally. This, she said, dem¬ 
onstrated the need to look at 
people individually and disregard 
stereotypes. Here experience 
with cultural ignorance followed 
her into adulthood, though. She 
moved to Chicago in 1980 and 
got a job with NBC news, becom¬ 
ing the first Asian newscaster in 
the city. Her first day as an an¬ 
chor, the station’s switchboards 
lit up with calls from people want¬ 
ing to know “what she was.” She 
finally realized they meant her na¬ 
tional origin, and this gave her 
insight into the curiosity people 
feel toward anything different. 

More recently, Yu was doing a 
special on the children of war in 
Belfast, Northern Ireland. She ex¬ 
plained that Protestant and Ro¬ 
man Catholic children grow up in 
adjacent blocks, but never meet 
each other. Worse, they are 
brought up believing horrible lies 
about each other that for some 
reason are never corrected. 

“It is these types of exper- 

134 Linda Yu Assembly 


iences,” Yu continued, “that 
Martin Luther King was trying to 
talk about ... Think about what 
it’s like to be on the other side of 
some of the things you say to 
others, think about what was im¬ 
portant to all of the people that 
came to this country ... and I 
think there is a better chance that 
you can make Martin Luther 
King’s dream come true.” She 
concluded by returning the check 
given to her as payment for the 
speech, saying the money would 
be better spent promoting racial 
harmony. The assembly then 
closed with a rendition of “Amaz¬ 
ing Grace” by seniors Sandy Del¬ 
gado and Barbara Bouboutsis. 

“I was extremely pleased with 
everything about Linda Yu,” said 
Leonard Ackman, Director of Ad¬ 
ministration. “Her method of pre¬ 
sentation fit the situation perfect¬ 
ly, and the cooperation among 
the students and staff made for a 
perfect assembly.” 


Director of Administration Leonard 
Ackman proudly introduces the speaker

addressed the students about the impor¬ 
tance of cross-cultural communication

Addressing the student body and staff, 
channel 7 Anchorwoman Linda Yu spoke 
about her arrival in the United States, her 
early childhood memories and her pre¬ 
sent day life as a broadcast journalist. 



With emotion, senior Mike Kaferly sings 
“When the children Cry” accompanied 
by sophomore Matt Berger, on the guitar. 
This duo kicked off the Martin Luther King 
Memorial assembly.

After Sabbath the Rabbi and his son Mendel enjoy a game of chess. The Drama 
department offered four performances of “Fiddler on the Roof ," including a senior 
citizens matinee. 


Discussing the “Good Book” Tevye, once again, stands corrected by Mendel, the 
Rabbi’s son while Perchik listens in. Drama teacher Robert Johnson directed the 
production. 


In the “To Life” number Russian danc¬ 
ers dominate the stage. Music for the 
production was conducted by music 
teacher William Koch. 



Thinking of better days, Tevye, the

Cast members began rehearsals for the 
spring production shortly after winter va¬

138 Fiddler On The Roof 















































Thespians Perform A Fine 
Fiddler 


As a packed auditorium 
cheered, the cast of “The Fiddler 
on the Roof” took their curtain 
call with pride. “Fiddler”, this 
spring’s musical brought in as 
many as 1000 people per perfor¬ 
mance. 

The production was a musical 
comedy about Jewish heritage 
and the Russian Revolution, 
when Russian Jews were up¬ 
rooted from their homes and per¬ 
secuted by anti-Semites. 

The main characters were 
Golda, played by Michelle 
Kamenear and Tevye, played by 
Senior Marc Jacobs. 

“This play is about traditions, 
and how they change. It is ironic 


how the story line is so parallel to 
the Gulf crisis. In both time peri¬ 
ods, the people’s lives were 
greatly changed,” remarked Di¬ 
rector Robert Johnson. 

The play was different, ac¬ 
cording to Johnson, because the 
students are not used to playing 
older ages, and it was the first 
time in a while that a play has 
called for stringed instruments. 

Students prepared for the play 
for approximately six weeks, in¬ 
cluding two hours after school 
everyday. 

Congratulations to the cast of 
“Fiddler on the Roof”, with a big

A Domination Of Juniors 


Determined to defeat the op¬ 
ponent each and every game, the 
Boys Varsity soccer team devel¬ 
oped a positive attitude. 

Goalie, Junior Sam Travlos 
commented, “The season has 
not been the best. Most of the 
players are juniors, who will re¬ 
turn as starters next season. 
Therefore, we were getting ex¬ 
perience for a much better sea¬ 
son next year.” Although domi¬ 
nated by juniors, the team was 
led by senior Tom Sybert, whose 
experience and dedication result¬ 
ed in being named Most Valuable 
Player. 

“It started out as a good sea¬ 
son, then we competitively 


played top rank teams. By the 
close of the season toward re¬ 
gional we were ready to give the 
opponents a good game,” stated 
junior Spiro Arsenis. 

Commenting on the season, 
Strat Kalamaris said, “This sea¬ 
son the varsity team was more or 
less a learning season, since ma¬ 
jority of the team was dominated 
by juniors.” At the banquet Kala¬ 
maris claimed the award of 
“leading score.” 

Kalamaris predicted that “next 
season we will take with us the 
skill and experience of playing in 
the varsity level making us a team 
to watch.”

Starting with an impressive vic¬ 
tory over Argo, 41 to 6, things 
looked bright for the talented var¬ 
sity football team. “We were un¬ 
sure of how we would compete. 
After that victory, our expecta¬ 
tions rose as well as our confi¬ 
dence.” explained Senior Line¬ 
man and Co-Captain Gil de las 
Alas. 

The Indians battled hard with 
Maine South, but to no avail. The 
Hawks handed the Indians their 
first defeat of the season, 12 to 7. 
“I think the loss to Maine South 
pretty much changed the whole 
season in the respect that if we 
would of won, we could have 
been on a roll to a winning re¬ 
cord.” commented Senior Defen¬ 
sive Tackle and All-Conference 
player Jason Fine. 

Many of the games left in the 
season ended with a victory for 
the opponent by no more than 
six points. “Four or five of those 
games should have been victo¬ 
ries.” stated Senior Safety John 
Williamson. “Those games were 
lost by mental mistakes and tur¬ 
novers, including Homecoming 
against Highland Park.” 

Despite those close looses, the 
Indians salvaged two more victo¬ 
ries over Glenbrook North and 


Maine East. They ended the sea¬ 
son with a record of 3 wins and 6 
losses. “Our record did not indi¬ 
cate how well we really played in 
those games. We lost a lot of 
games by less than a touchdown. 
We could have been easily 7 and 
2.” stated Senior Quarterback 
and Co-Captain Brad Nieder- 
maier. 

At the end of the season, play¬ 
er’s named their football heroes. 
Senior Fullback Roger Kono 
chose Neal Anderson for “His 
determination and eagerness to 
fill in the big shoes that Walter 
Payton left behind. He earned his 
job and is probably the best 
complete runningback in the 
NFL.” Senior Linebacker Brian 
Weinberg said his hero was Keith 
Ortego. “Ortego went from a 
benchwarmer to a starter with 
the Chicago Bears. When the op¬ 
portunity knocked, Ortego an¬ 
swered and earned himself a 
starting job. He had a great atti¬ 
tude.” Other player’s heroes in¬ 
cluded Payton, Sayers, Butkus, 
and Dexter Manley. 

No matter who the player’s he¬ 
roes were, each and every player 
played the heart and the attitude 
like those of a professional.

Frosh, JV Teams 
Shine 


The third year of the boys’ 
volleyball program brought a 
new level of competition to West 
as the newly formed freshman 
team joined the already existing 
Varsity and Junior Varsity 
squads. Although the Varsity 
team varied in its consistency 
according to Coach David Genis, 
the young Frosh and Junior Var¬ 
sity teams ended the season 
with brilliant records. 

The Varsity team had only one 
returning player, so as a result of 
its lack of experienced members, 
the season closed with a 11-10 
record. Captained by Seniors 
Tassos Gianakakos and Michael 
Park, the Varsity had a good 
season for pool of talent and 
experience commented Genis, 
who replaced Coach Geis as 
Varsity coach. Coach Gary 
Davis led the Junior Varsity to a 
stunning undefeated season. 
The JV program’s second year 
culminated in a 19-0 record that 
“serves as a strong prelude and 
a standard for the 1991 Varsity 
season”, commented JV team 
member John Jung. The team 
functions “like a family where 
everyone contributes”, added 


assistant Simon Law. 

The Frosh team experienced a 
similarly brilliant season under 
leadership of Coach Paul 
Swanson. The new level “func¬ 
tioned very well in its first year 
together”, stated Frosh member 
Hugh Chong, “it showed in our 
record with only two losses”, he 
concluded. 

Boys’ volleyball has added a 
level of competition in each year 
of its existence. Three years ago 
former student Tony Lu moved 
to the area from California where 
the sport is commonplace. His 
request to Director of Athletics 
Jerry Turry to start a club if 
enough interest was shown 
formed the groundwork for the 
team. 

Now forty area teams com¬ 
pete in the state finals held at 
West as interest in the sport 
continues to grow in the Mid¬ 
west. The year 1992 will mark 
the beginning of an official state 
tournament run by Illinois High 
School Association. West’s High 
Impact team fosters high hopes 
for recognition at the state tour¬ 
ney.

Court Time 


Tennis doesn’t mean just hit¬ 
ting a little green ball back to the 
opponent over a low net. The 
Tennis Team also gives students 
a great chance to explore the 
wonders and expectations of the 
sport. 

The combined team of Varsity 
and Junior Varsity, known as the 
JV, had a great winning season, 
even though they lost some 
games. The players worked hard 
and practiced for a fine season, 
and it payed off. 


Some of the players had differ¬ 
ent opinions about the team. 
Freshman Michelle Matsunaga 
explains, “The team was fun, and 
I liked meeting all the new peo¬ 
ple.” Senior Ivette Gatilal 
“sensed a lot of team unity be¬ 
tween the Varsity because every¬ 
body stuck together.” JV player 
llene Fernandez thought of the 
coaches as “friends because 
they were easy to talk to and 
supportive throughout the sea¬ 
son.” Once players get into the 


spirit of the game, they quickly 
get hooked. The JV and Varsity 
girls believe that tennis doesn’t 
mean all work and no play; rather 
physical work, and the opportu¬ 
nity to develop new friendships 
make the season special for the 
players. Getting their letters at 
the dinner banquet brought them 
together for a recap of the sea¬ 
son.

No Doubt About It 


We’re Number One 


HOLY COW! The Niles West 
Baseball Team brought home a 
Summer League Championship 
for the first time in Indian history. 
After a dismal spring season, the 
Indians exploded with a 24-4 rec¬ 
ord in the Thornwood Summer 
League Tournament. 

The team finished the spring 
season with a 9-14-1 record. 
Outstanding players included 
seniors Joo-Yup Lee and Kevin 
Murphy, juniors John Covington, 
Brad Neidermaier, Mag Remon, 
and Jeff Richards, and sopho¬ 
more Nick Joung. Even though 
the Indians finished below .500, 
the team retained its pride and 
bounced back to take the Sum¬ 
mer League Championship un¬ 
der coaches Gary Gustafson 


and Bob Deleanardis. 

Commenting on the team’s 
success, Brad Neidermaier ad¬ 
mitted that Mag Remon and Jeff 
Richards proved crucial to the 
success of the team because 
they “turned over so many dou¬ 
ble plays.’’ Commenting on the 
players’ performances, Coach 
Gustafson expressed pleasure 
at the performances of center 
fielder Sean Holton, third base- 
man Ken Chmeilinski, and first 
baseman Shawn McGovern. 

“Since the majority of our 
team were seniors, there will be 
a lot of shoes to fill,” said 
Neidermaier about next season. 
“We finally built a good name for 
the Indians and next year’s team 
will have to keep it going.”

Spring Symbolizes Softball 


Spring symbolizes the begin¬ 
ning of many exciting events. To 
some, it merely starts the final 
months of school. To others, it 
means spending more time out¬ 
doors. But spring fever always 
catches the softball players in a 
major league way. 

The freshman softball team, 
even though the scoreboard 
didn’t always match their jovial 
spirits, cheered each other on. 
As eloquently put by Coach Carr, 
“Even though my team didn’t 
have a winning season, the girls 
had a winning attitude.” Nancy 
Slutzky agreed, “Even though we 
lost many of our games, we al¬ 
ways had a great time. And we 
love Coach Carr.’’ 

The Junior Varsity team had 
one of their best seasons had in 
five years. Said Lydia Sulejmani, 
“The season turned out better 
than anyone expected. We had 
the togetherness a team should 
have. As a team, we deserved 
first place.” Coach Ramseyer 
glowed about his team. “We 
were first in conference (a tie 
shared with Deerfield). I believe 
that we had the most successful 


season in five years. But what I 
prided my team on was the way 
they worked as a team. Being 
friends off the field really gave 
them the power to believe in each 
other.” That’s what made them a 
team! 

Despite some stiff competition, 
every time the Varsity walked off 
the field, they felt proud of them¬ 
selves because they had played 
a good game. Tough practices 
had prepared the team for many 
of the difficult situations. Al¬ 
though sorry to lose the senior 
members, the team awaits an¬ 
other exciting season. Jill Ham¬ 
mond looks forward to “another 
exciting season. I want to end my 
senior year with a win against 
Deerfield! ” 

Softball requires much endur¬ 
ance, according to players who 
had to suffer through forty de¬ 
gree weather for practices, and 
the disappointment of yet an¬ 
other game being canceled be¬ 
cause of rain. But no matter what 
hardships the weather, coaches, 
or other obstacles the girls run 
across, the game will go on!

Just For Kicks 


Although a growing infatuation 
internationally, soccer as Ameri¬ 
can’s view it, seems like no more 
than the simple virtue of kicking a 
ball around. But the girls on the 
varsity soccer team feel different¬ 
ly. Under the guidance of coach 
Brennan, the girls have displayed 


agility, nimbleness, and stamina; 
and as senior Tula Nafpliotis stat¬ 
ed, ‘‘There is a lot of growing po¬ 
tential and dedication.” 

During the months of March, 
April, and May, Monday through 
Friday, from three to five; the girls 
practice in preparation for week¬ 


end bouts. Such activities include 
jogging, scrimmaging, and drill¬ 
ing. From this practice and en¬ 
thusiasm, they not only improved 
their soccer skills, but have revi¬ 
talized the appreciation for soc¬ 
cer around them. 


Junior Varsity member Mimi Cimmarusti 
clears the ball as an opponent attempts 
an attack on the goal. Although the 1990 
JV team was inexperienced they played 
aggressive defense and surprised specta¬ 
tors by keeping some high scoring oppo¬ 
nents to low scores. 



Sophomore Claudia lusco and Nancy Rakovic take control of the ball at midfield and 
head up in a tandem. Next season the freshmen team will be deleted, Varsity and JV will 
remain.

Pushing The Body 
To Its Limit 


Boys’ Gymnastics 

“The appeal of gymnastics is 
pushing the human body to its 
limits. Through hard work and 
long training you can achieve the 
most amazing feats. As a sport, 
gymnastics is fairly unique be¬ 
cause you rely solely on yourself 
for your success, and the blame 
is yours if you fail.” 

George Antonakos 
Varsity, pommel horse 

Coached by John Burkel, 
Steve Foerch, and Louis Torres, 
the 1990 boys’ gymnastics team 
captured the title of Central Sub¬ 
urban League conference cham¬ 
pions in a stunning season. The 
Varsity team can boast of pos¬ 
sessing an undefeated record 
and four all-conference athletes 
including seniors Eric Chiang, 
Henry Chun, Mike Dalgetty, and 
Dennis Lee. Gymnasts Chiang, 
Chun, and Lee also qualified for 
the state competition. 

The Varsity All-American team 
ranked eleventh in the state and 
finished the season with a 9-0 
record. The team progressed to 
regionals and sectionals where 
the gymnasts performed com¬ 
petitively. At regionals and at the 
Niles North Invitational, West 
placed second and at sectionals 
and at the Foerch Invite they 
captured third place. They lost to 
Fremd High School by merely 15 


points in the regional competi¬ 
tion. 

The Junior Varsity also held 
the title of conference champi¬ 
ons and had an undefeated rec¬ 
ord (8-0). They won second 
place at the Coant Invite,. J.V. 
conference champions include 
vault and all-around champ Eric 
Alper, pommel horse champ 
Mike Kaferly, horizontal bar 
champ Joo Bum Park, and rings 
champion Max Stolvarov. 
Kaferly explains, “Our success is 
due to our dedication and love, 
not only of the sport but of each 
other.” 

The Freshman team also ex¬ 
perienced an impressive season 
with an 8-1 record. Second place 
in the conference and third place 
at the Foerch Invite list among 
the gymnasts’ accomplish¬ 
ments. Coach Burkel stated he 
looks forward to another “highly 
successful year” for the 1991 
gymnastics team “as tradition 
has come to dictate.” 

The team trains eleven 
months a year to perfect the 
talent of West’s male gymnasts 
on the pommel horse, vault, high 
bar, parallel bars, rings, and in 
the floor exercises. The sport 
demands commitment, dedica¬ 
tion, and incredible physical and 
mental strength, but as J.V. gym¬ 
nast Eric Burkel explains, “it all 
pays off.”

The Ins And Outs 
Of High School 
Tennis 


Imagine abolishing umpires 
from baseball and leaving the 
calls to the players. The tedious 
argument over safe and out 
would never end. Picture a bas¬ 
ketball league without referees. 
Would the athletes ever agree 
on whether or not a foul was 
committed? Without officials, 
this problem would occur in al¬ 
most every high school sport 
that involves officials. 

Yet tennis remains unique be¬ 
cause it is based on an honor 
system, without judges or refer¬ 
ees. Even in tough matches, 
players maintain that they call all 
shots honestly. When asked why 
he doesn’t lie, when no one will 
know the difference, junior Stan 
Matz responded, “Tennis is a 
respectable game played by 
gentlemen. It’s a type of sport 
where if you have the ability and 
strength, you’ll win without 
cheating. If you cheat, if you call 
a shot ‘out’ that you know was 


‘in', then you don’t deserve to 
win the match.’’ 

“I think it’s great that tennis 
has an honor system”, said Var¬ 
sity Coach Jack Morris. “It 
shows that teenagers have 
enough character to be honest, 
even when it’s not in their best 
interests. Although some shots 
are called incorrectly, it’s not 
done because players are cheat¬ 
ing, but because they actually 
think the shots are out. But even 
still, the good calls and bad calls 
balance each other out.” 

Matz also noted that people 
who think they need to cheat to 
get ahead shouldn’t play tennis 
in the first place. “That type of 
person doesn’t belong in the 
game”, he added. While other 
athletes are able to leave the 
calls to officials, tennis players 
remain in a class by themselves 
since they function simultane¬ 
ously as competitors and offi¬ 
cials.

“Moral and team spirit were 
very high. Strong leadership on 
the varsity level by seniors, Elliott 
Malkin, Preston Alper, captains 
Peter Axelrad and Matt Novo¬ 
selsky facilitated a positive atti¬ 
tude throughout the program. 
All-conference wrestlers Matt 
Noveselsky, Shashi Gowda, 
Sung-Jin Choi and Ryan Gon¬ 
zales were stand-outs this sea¬ 
son. Sectional qualifiers Matt No¬ 
voselsky and Ryan Gonzales fur¬ 
ther excelled in the state tourna¬ 
ment, ” explained second year 
coach, Dan Rusk. 

Hard work and practices held 
everyday, except meet days, got 
the wrestling team where they 
are today. Each athlete had to be 
careful in controlling his weight 
and watch what he ate. 

All-conference wrestler, Ryan 
Gonzales stated, “The team 
didn’t do as well as we hoped 


because we had to forfeit two or 
three weight classes. But the 
wrestlers we had always did 
well.” 

In the varsity level there are 
thirteen different weight levels. 
Starting at 103 pounds and lower 
is Sol Ashbach, at 112-Fadi Kho- 
saba, 119-Matt Novolselsky, 
125-Shashi Gowda, 130-Peter 
Hepner, 135-Preston Alper, 140- 
Elliott Malkin, 145-Mike Cho, 
152-Peter Axelrad, 160-Sung-Jin 
Choi, 171-Shintaro Shimosawa, 
and heavy weight under 275 is 
Ryan Gonzales. 

Lower levels insure success in 
the next few years. As stated by 
coach Rusk, “The freshman 
team, four deep at some weight 
classes, and the JV both chal¬ 
lenged for the conference cham¬ 
pionship this season. These ath¬ 
letes promise a bright future for 
the wrestling program.” 


Eye to eye with opponent junior Peter Hepner waits for the proper moment to "shoot

A Growing Sport 


Since 1865, when William G. Morgan, a 
P E. instructor at the YMCA in Holyoke 
Massachusetts, invented volleyball,. the 
game has become amazingly popular. 
Scoring high marks in Asia and Europe, it 
also remains a sure favorite in the United 
States as well. 

Niles West joined the Central Suburban 


League at the inception of volleyball as a 
league sport. Today four girls’ teams, 
Freshman A and B, Jr. Varsity and Varsi¬ 
ty, prove the students enthusiasm for the 
steadily growing sport. The 48 partici¬ 
pants learn not only to improve their own 
skills but also the many benefits of being 
a team. 



We had 2 frosh girl teams and had to cut 25 girls. Girls volleyball is getting bigger and 
better every year.

Success Boosts Self-Esteem. 


“This years swim team shows 
a lot of promise.” states Coach 
Mike Drella. “Due to personal ill¬ 
ness and injury, however, the 
team has not performed up to 
their standard at the meets.” 
Since ten of the twenty-nine 
swimmers are freshmen, the 
coaches have had to combine 


the Junior Varsity and Varsity 
teams at some meets. Swimmers 
train daily to improve personal 
times, and their success boosts 
self-esteem. According to Fresh¬ 
men Jennifer Leavitt, “The wor¬ 
kouts are tough but the outcome 
is worth it. 




Senior Nikki Gardner hangs upside

Swim! Kick! Pull! 


The opportunity to glide 
through the clear waters of the 
pool attracted many new mem¬ 
bers to the swim team. Under the 
coaching of Mike Drella, this 
team developed the members by 
toning their muscles and gaining 
more endurance so they could 
swim with full power at all times. 
The many swim meets gave the 
members an opportunity to be 
competitive against other 
schools. Those students interest¬ 


ed in diving, a form of sport and 
grace, must learn their skills inde¬ 
pendently, because of Coach 
Larsen’s retirement. The team 
functioned well together under 
the leadership of captains Art 
Hortua, Travis Shaffer, and 
Alonso Acosta. According to Art 
Hortua, “Our skill and spirit were 
great. It was just that we lacked 
in depth.” Though few in num¬ 
bers, the swim team stilL kept 
their motivation and spirit high.

A Fun And Rewarding 
Experience In Peoria 


With excitement evident in 
their voices, the Girls’ Cross 
Country team boarded the bus¬ 
ses for a tedious four hour ride to 
Peoria on the sixteenth of Sep¬ 
tember. The teammates had 
looked forward to this annual trip 
from the beginning of the year. 
The team competed against 
twenty-three other schools from 
within the Illinois State in a high- 
caliber race on the state course. 

Although the team didn’t come 
out on top, everyone on the 
team, including the freshmen, 
had a rewarding experience. For 
the seniors, the Peoria trip repre¬ 
sented their last chance to enjoy 


this special event. 

Besides sweat and hard work, 
the team also managed some en¬ 
tertainment. They got to eat at 
Avanti’s, an Italian gourmet res¬ 
taurant, enjoying such foods as 
lasagna and spaghetti. The team 
then went shopping at one of 
many shopping malls in the area. 
The trip brought old friends clos¬ 
er together and created new 
friendships among the team¬ 
mates. The camaraderie among 
the runners had always been ob¬ 
vious but after this special week¬ 
end, the team became closer 
than ever before. 



Senior Elissa LeBoy leads the race as 
she usually does. Elissa is the only runner 
in the history of Niles West who was All- 
State in Cross Country for two years.

An Up And Down 
Season 


This year’s Niles West 
cross country team was, ac¬ 
cording to varsity runner Brian 
Moreth, ‘‘an up and down 
one.” On the up side, the Indi¬ 
ans placed 7th in the Niles 
West Invitational meet and 
3rd in dual meet competition. 
Brian Moreth and Matt Krone 
earned All Conference honors 
as well as spots in sectional 
competition. 

Commenting about the 
down side, Coach Savage 
said, ‘‘The team was not as 
successful this year as the 
past few years. This year, we 
had no winning dual meet rec¬ 
ord for the first time in 10 
years.” 

The Freshmen and Sopho¬ 
more teams did a little better 
than the varsity team. Sopho¬ 


mores Brian Kiedaisch, Mike 
Berg, Jason Para and Freshman 
Jason lannoti won All Confer¬ 
ence honors. The Sophomore 
team tied for 2nd place with 
Maine West while the freshmen 
team placed 8th in the Niles 
West Invitational. 

‘‘We had tough competition, 
especially from Maine East and 
Glenbrook North,” said Varsity 
runner Brian Moreth. ‘‘Since we 
have a couple of good runners in 
the Freshmen and Sophomore 
teams hopefully we will have a 
better team in the next few 
years.” 

Even though the team did not 
do as well as they wanted to, 
Grant Rosenberg remarked, 
‘‘People don’t seem to know that 
participating in cross country is 
an achievement in itself.”

Golfers Endure 


Golf is not a physical sport- but 
that has its advantages. Unlike 
football, baseball, and basket¬ 
ball, where athletes eventually 
quit because of aching knees 
and sore shoulders, golf’s a 
game that lasts a lifetime. Play¬ 
ers like Arnold Palmer and Jack 
Nicklaus have participated in the 
sport for years, and don’t appear 
ready to quit just yet. 

“That’s one of the things I love 
about golf”, said senior captain 
Frank Corday. “I’ll be able to 
play the game forever. I won’t 
have to stop when I’m 40 be¬ 
cause I’m too tired or injured. It’s 
illogical to get tired or injured 
playing golf.” 

Senior Benjy Grais concurred. 
“I love playing golf, and I’ll never 


have to stop. It’s not as if we 
have to tackle people, or jump 
and dunk basketballs. One 
doesn’t have to be good at golf 
to love it. Yet you get to keep 
practicing, and you always get 
better.” 

“You see guys on television, 
and it seems like they’ve been 
around forever,” Corday contin¬ 
ued. “Someday, I’d like to be one 
of them. Even guys who don’t 
make it in the pros can play until 
they’re very old.” 

Another reason golfers play so 
long, is that it’s a sport one can 
play by himself. Aside from 
school teams, people are usually 
in the sport for themselves, not 
because they have a team to 
play for. 






Junior Ramy Antar observes a one putt green. The team was composed 
of mainly juniors. All members will return next season with an exception 
of Frank Corday.

accomplished in the last ten years. Tony shot a one over par 73 to take medalist 
honors.

Conning To Life As A Team 


The girls’ basketball team displays their defense. Full court defensive pressure was 
key factor to a lot of the Indian victories. 


"Basketball allows players to 
have their own individual talent, 
and do their own thing, but it’s 
when we work as a team that we 
come to life," explained fresh¬ 
man Becca Lundstrom. Although 
the score might cause outsiders 
to think otherwise, members be¬ 
lieved that they possess the en¬ 
thusiasm needed to improve. 

Basketball draws the team 
closer as a result of the intense 
action. As sophomore Francine 
Keller happily reported, "Our JV 
team works well together. We’re 
not just basketball players, we’re 
friends." The varsity team pre¬ 
vailed, even after suffering some 


hardships. "We have come so 
close to beating ranked teams, 
even though we lost two of our 
starters in the beginning of the 
season. But it didn’t hurt the 
team as much as we thought, 
and at the end of the season, we 
had the whole team back," ex¬ 
plained varsity member Kelly Su- 
lejmani. 

With the help of coaches 
Schnell, Klebba, Houlihan, and 
Pemberton, the teams felt they 
had a successful season. Instead 
of just running around the court, 
they proved their talent and chal¬ 
lenged their opponents.

The Way The Ball Bounces 



Over the summer, the Indian 
competed in two summer 
leagues. There, they worked on 
their offense and defense pre¬ 
paring for the upcoming season. 

The basketball season had ar¬ 
rived and the Indians battled with 
Crane in their first game of the 
Billy Schnurr Tournament. Crane 
defeated the Indians and Niles 
West fell into the consolation 
bracket. The Indians won the 
consolation championship by 
defeating Evanston and Notre 
Dame. “After winning the conso¬ 
lation championship, I thought 
that we proved that we were 
capable of success and it was a 
sign of good things to come” 
commented Senior Forward 
Brad Niedermaier. 

Senior Mike Weiss promotes Pack the 
Place at the Pep assembly. The gym was 
packed with more than one thousand 
spectators. 


The team consisted of nine 
seniors, nine juniors, and one 
sophomore. Seniors made up 
the starting lineup and all the 
starting seniors have had varsity 
experience. “Our starting lineup 
was in good shape and we 
played very well together. The 
togetherness of the team was 
something very special” stated 
senior Colin Danzinger. 

Before the start of the season, 
because they were unproven 
and had lost two all-conference 
players, many so called experts 
thought it would be a rebuilding 
year for the Indians. 

Contrary to this belief that they 
would be horrible, they played 
very well early in the season, 
developed team chemistry and 


put together a four game winning 
streak. Going into Christmas, the 
Indians had high hopes of a con¬ 
ference championship and a 
post-season run. 

The Indians played hard and 
never gave up, but they didn’t 
live up to the early season poten¬ 
tial they had shown. They ended 
the regular season one game 
under .500, with back-to-back 
overtime victories to their credit. 
“Going into our regional with 
Maine South we were looking to 
regain our early season form, but 
as had been the case for most of 
the year, we couldn’t sustain our 
execution, and we lost a game 
that we should have won” com¬ 
mented Senior Andy Coleman.

Balance, Good 
Posture And A 
Clear Mind 


Balance, good posture, and a 
clear mind keep gymnasts con¬ 
centrating on their routines 
whether they’re standing on the 
balance beam, tightening their 
arms on the uneven parallel bars, 
keeping their eyes straight on the 
runway of the vault, or listening to 
the beat of the music for their 
floor routines. 

Cartwheels, roundoffs, back- 
bends, flipflops and many other 
stunts may sometimes look easy, 
but in order to do well in a routine 
at an event, the gymnasts must 
work hard and practice everyday 
after school and on weekends. 


Practicing with the team raises 
the gymnasts’ esteem as they 
correct their errors. In addition, 
gymnasts give each other moral 
support and encouragement. 
Freshman gymnast Phincy Koo- 
vakada comments. “The team is 
like one big family. We’re all like 
sisters almost.’’ 

All the hard work, backaches 
and long hours of practice earn 
recognition at the gymnastic din¬ 
ner. At the banquet, head coach, 
Mrs. Pam Foerch recognizes 
gymnasts with awards apprecia¬ 
tion of their effort and dedication.

Four Year Track Member 
States Her Views On The 


Sport. 


Being a four-year member of 
the girls track team has shown 
me what it means to be dedi¬ 
cated. It takes a lot of hard work 
to be able to remain on a team 
for all of high school. One must 
really like what she is doing, and 
she must want to do it. Track is a 
sport I want to be on because it 
keeps me in shape. 

Also, I manage my time better 
when I am on a sport. Instead of 
coming home after school and 
watching television for hours, I 
come home and start my home¬ 
work. By doing my work earlier, I 


get a good night’s sleep and am 
able to do well in school and at 
practice. By doing well at prac¬ 
tice, I become a better person 
physically. 

In addition, each year I am on 
the team I meet new people who 
have become some of my good 
friends. The time we spend to¬ 
gether at practice after school 
has made each of us a better per¬ 
son. We are also able to make 
practice more fun. 

Another advantage of being on 
tract for four years is that I am 


able to help those who are new to 
the team. When helping others I 
get a sense of accomplishment 
and I am often thanked for an¬ 
swering questions or just encour¬ 
aging others during practice. This 
is one reason I have rejoined the 
team each year I have been in 
high school. 

Even though I have tried to ex¬ 
plain what being on the girls track 
team can do for oneself, the best 
way to experience it is to join the 
team yourself and to do it for four 
years.

A Spirited Squad 


Varsity Cheerleaders faced 
many unusual challenges begin¬ 
ning last March and continuing 
through summer with attendance 
at a U.C.A. (Universal Cheer¬ 
leaders Association) camp in 
Eastern Michigan. After receiving 
the Superior Squad and Most 
Spirited Awards, Senior Robin Yu 
and Junior Laura Jun were 
named camp “All Stars", which 
gives them the opportunity to 
take part in the London parade 
along with the other U.C.A. All 
Stars. 


Football season, Homecoming 
and Basketball season each 
came and went quickly. “Pro¬ 
moting spirit and leading the Indi¬ 
ans to victory is what made Varsi¬ 
ty happiest", reports Senior 
Sandy Delgado. Varsity also per¬ 
formed at the De Paul Vs UCLA 
halftime basketball game. Even 
though things sometimes go 
wrong and injuries occur, the 
time, effort and attitude of the 
girls made this season successful 
as shown by their many accom¬ 
plishments.

rez explained, “We’re all really 
excited about Nationals. There’s 
a lot of hard work, but it’ll really 
pay off when we get there. Per¬ 
forming is the best! It’s great 
when there’s a big crowd, it really 
get you going.”

with one of the schools policies, 
whether he or she disagrees with 
the policy on closed halls or 
Walkman radios? What if that 
student would like to have his or 
her opinion heard but does not 
know where to go? Student Sen¬ 
ate can help. The Student Sen¬ 
ate, the legislative body of the 
school’s student government, 
acts as a political bridge between 
the students, faculty, and admin¬ 
istration so that student’s inter¬ 
ests can be heard and acted 
upon. 

Senate, led by president Daniel 


Lieber, has held discussions on 
issues such as closed halls, the 
Walkman radio controversy, and 
other student matters. Senate 
also hosted a leadership confer¬ 
ence in November. 

Lieber commented, “The Sen¬ 
ate does things as needed. We 
are mainly a buffer between the 
students and the administra¬ 
tion.’’ About future plans for the 
Senate, Lieber added, “I hope 
that next year’s Senate will con¬ 
tinue to have success with stu¬ 
dents problems and I hope that 
we will have more creative pro¬ 
jects in the future.” 


Let's have a group discussion! Student Senate members talk about various activities 
from fund raising to supporting the troops in the gulf. 




Student Senate members meet in the multi-purpose room to brainstorm for upcom¬ 
ing events. This organization is the legislative branch of the student government. 



Student Senate president Dan Lieber and club sponsor Jim Sweeny discuss the 
agenda for their meeting. Student Senate deals with the policies of the school.

Union Adds Excitement 

Students who walked down Sesame Street to the Homecoming 
Dance or partied with the Muppets during Homecoming Week, have 
been affected by the hard work of Student Union, an organization 
dedicated to adding a little excitement to everyone’s school year. In 
addition to Homecoming Week, Union members also plan Turnabout 
Dance and Spring Activities. 

“I’m glad to see so many people involved; we have some really 
dedicated members”, stated Vice-President Julie Yoon who, along 
with Officers Jenny Shin, Katherine Ripley, and Abbie Greene lead 
union’s 80 members, which includes a large freshmen turnout. ‘‘I have 
enjoyed working with the variety of students and have appreciated 
their enthusiasm”, commented new sponsor, Spanish teacher An¬ 
drew Johnson. 

‘‘The ideas we have worked on this year seem more exciting and 
well thought out than in previous years. I’m really proud of what we 
are accomplishing.”, explained Treasurer Abbie Greene. The brain¬ 
storming and effort of the Student Union help to make everyone’s 
year that much brighter. 



Calling Student Union to order, officers Katherine Ripley, Jenny Shin, Julie Yoon, 
and Abbie Greene. Union meets weekly to discuss their agenda. 



Seniors Kathy Brangan and Shelley Gelber discuss Union activities. Student Union 
plans Homecoming, Turnabout, and numerous other school social functions. 

Wanting to share an idea with the rest of the Union, Katherine Ripley, Jenny Spreitzer, 
David Chertow, and Aaron Shefsky wait to be acknowledged. Union needs bright fund 
raising ideas to help pay for the activities they sponsor.

Espanol 

"Spanish Club is a step be¬ 
yond Spanish class — it’s a cul¬ 
tural experience!” explains soph¬ 
omore Maurice Bahrmasel. The 
thirty members, under leadership 
of President Mike Janecek, Vice- 
President Yvette Gatilao, Secre¬ 
tary Diana Fernandez, and Trea¬ 
surer Melba Castillo, carried out 
their traditional events: dancing 
the merengue at International 
Night, hosting a toy drive and 
taking a Christmas time field trip 
to Casa Central, a day-care cen¬ 
ter for less-fortunate Hispanic 
children, and selling Val-O- 
Grams at Valentines Day. New 
plans for this year include helping 



The children of Casa Central and Spanish Club members await the arrival of Santa 
Claus. The traditional toy drive and visit to the west side day care center occurs { 
annually. 

Spanish Royalties 


to organize an ethnic club volley¬ 
ball tournament and a picnic/ 
beach party for members late in 
the year. When asked what’s new 
for this year, Janecek states "we, 
as officers, want to make the club 
as fun as possible, as well as pro¬ 
mote underclass participation.” 

Senior Tasneem Kapadia sums 
up Spanish Club by stating, "It’s 
more than just learning a whole 
bunch of words, it gives the stu¬ 
dents a chance to learn about 
Spanish culture and Spanish 
people.” Sponsors Steven Bea¬ 
ver and Chris Fontana feel 
pleased to work with such effec¬ 
tive leaders and caring members. 


"Our members are enthusiasti¬ 
cally looking forward to many 
new activities which will bring 
them into contact with the Span¬ 
ish speaking world,” commented 
Kim Loewenthal, president of 
Spanish Honor Society, which 
consists of an elite group of stu¬ 
dents who have excelled in their 
Spanish classes. 

To get in touch with the diversi¬ 
ty of Spanish language and cul¬ 
tures, members participated in 
many activities: International 
Night, a churro sale and a trip to 
Spanish- oriented community 
center. They also visited an old- 


age home and made donations 
to a special plan for underprivi- ’ 
leged children in Spanish speak¬ 
ing countries. 

The Society’s thirteen mem¬ 
bers, flourished under the leader- 
ship of President Kim 
Loewenthal, Vice- President Fla- 
vio Rocha, secretary Betty Lee, 
and Treasurer Sue Park. "This 
year, the Spanish Honor Society 
will be involved on many interest¬ 
ing and exciting programs that 
will help its members learn more 
about Spanish language and cul¬ 
tures,” concluded junior Flavio 
Rocha.

Quinn, and Ghazala Usman, and 
Huma Qureshi, the club experi¬ 
enced another exciting, and in¬ 
teresting year. Noted club spon¬ 
sor Peter Zorn, “We have a very 
nice group of students- it is very 
gratifying working with them.” 

German club prides itself on 
its annual day in German town 


including lunch at Lutz’s bakery. 
Aside from this trip, the members 
performed skits from Saturday 
Night Live’s, “Sprockets” and 
“Hans and Franz.” Capturing the 
essence of German Club, a 
member stated “The club is a 
great opportunity for people who 
otherwise wouldn’t experience 
German culture, to participate in 
activities with German back¬ 
ground and theme.

Wrestlettes Know The Score 

A spirited, enthusiastic group of people who support the wrestlers. 
No, not the cheerleaders and pom pon, but the Wrestlettes. Spon¬ 
sored by security staff member Jaqui Udell, the 23 members show 
their support and enthusiasm by providing wrestlers with locker deco¬ 
rations, food, kind words of encouragement, and other little surprises. 
Although officially their job involves keeping accurate score at all 
meets and tournaments, they do much more. 

President Gaycel Hernandez commented, “I joined Wrestlettes last 
year not knowing anything about wrestling. I enjoy this organization 
because it gives me a chance to meet new people and get to know 
them. I try to be there with the wrestlers to share their winning 
moments and to cheer them up and comfort them through their times 
of defeat.”

Act, Sing, Dance 


They act, they sing, they 
dance! Who are they? They are 
the International Thespian soci¬ 
ety, a group of students interest¬ 
ed in Theater and, “a wonderful 
group of human beings,” accord¬ 
ing to Robert Johnson, the spon¬ 
sor of the club. 

In one way or another, all 
members participate in the the¬ 
ater program. Some students 
perform on stage while others 
provide crew service, but all 
these talented students want to 
be associated with the theater. 
‘‘Theater gives us an opportunity 


to display our talents and work 
with other people,” commented 
Lisa Goodman, secretary. 

Activities of the International 
Thespian Society included a field 
trip to a professional theater, an 
end of the year banquet. Club 
members also went to Muncie, 
Indiana for the annual Thespian 
Festival. 

As Thespian President Mi¬ 
chelle Kamenear explained, 
‘‘Theater not only gives us a 
chance to meet the new and in¬ 
teresting people, but it allows us 
to have long-life friendships.”

“I’ll tell you a tale ... Heave- 
Ho, Heave-Ho”. As the audience 
watched the gently swaying 
backs of the members of Expres¬ 
sions, they heard these first 
strains of the medley from The 
Little Mermaid, performed as fi¬ 
nale for the Fall Festival, the first 
of four annual events. 

Expressions, formally known 
as Show Choir, and three other 
choirs comprise the choral de¬ 
partment. Chamber Choir, con¬ 
sisting entirely of girls, produces 
a powerful sound whenever they 


perform. The Choral Union, a 
mixture of boys and girls, attracts 
students of all class levels. The 
fourth group, Girls’ Ensemble, 
consists mostly of freshmen 
girls. 

Members of these groups vis¬ 
ited Colorado Springs on their 
annual tour and competed for 
musical awards. During the Holi¬ 
day Assembly, all four choirs per¬ 
formed a medley called “Cool 
Yule”. Despite the hectic sched¬ 
ule the choir proved to be fun 
and rewarding. 



Members of the Chamber Choir sing many different songs for the Pasta and Pops 
evening concert. Many singing groups came to perform for their peers, parents and

In less than four months, 
Freshmen Cabinet has been re¬ 
sponsible for the Homecoming 
buttons, a successful bake sale, 
a float that placed sixth in the 
annual Homecoming Parade, 
and has plans or events to come. 
Cabinet President Scott Gartner 
stated, “In the future, we will be 
trying to start a program to spon¬ 
sor a child from another coun¬ 
try.” 

All thirty five members of the 
cabinet agreed that Freshmen 
Cabinet helped them to meet 
new people and become in¬ 


volved in school happenings. 
Cabinet member George Manta 
added, “It is not only fun but also 
an example of full class partici¬ 
pation.” 

Although the members of 
Freshmen Cabinet all work con¬ 
sistently to carry out their activi¬ 
ties, they can’t do it alone. Chris 
Fontana, who assists every 
meetings makes sure things get 
done and that the events take

Hard Work Pays Off 


Sophomore Cabinet’s hard 
work paid off once again at the 
Frosh-Sophomore Mixer which 
Sophomore Hye Chong Chang 
described as, “A nice way for the 
freshmen to get better ac¬ 
quainted, and the sophomores 
to get together and enjoy the 
night.” 

Besides organizing the Frosh- 
Soph Mixer, the students also 
held numerous fund-raisers in¬ 
cluding bake sales. Cabinet be¬ 
gan the years by building a 
Homecoming float and plans to 
conclude it with an end-of-the- 
year dance. Hard working offi¬ 
cers David Chertow- president, 
Sophie Nafliotis- vice president, 


Jaime Kron- secretary, and Kae 
Chutavanich treasurer, dedi¬ 
cated many long hours to a vari¬ 
ety of projects. 

According to David Chertow, 
‘‘Cabinet planned many activi¬ 
ties to benefit the sophomore 
class as well as the school and 
community.” Under the leader¬ 
ship of sponsor James Puff, the 
cabinet provides a place to ex¬ 
press ideas for the improvement 
of the class and the school, and 
also a great way to meet new 
people and form new friend¬ 
ships. Officers and members 
hope to continue to achieve their 
goals.

bers, Susan Milsk, Kari Tipton, Dana

cabinet. 




Junior Cabinet More Than Just Prom 


Many students think of plan¬ 
ning prom as the main activity of 
Junior Cabinet, but in reality 
members do much more. Junior 
Cabinet also plans the pre¬ 
homecoming dance and the 
prom fashion show. Fundraising 
occupies a big part of their year 
to make prom the best and least 


expensive it can be. This out¬ 
standing Junior Cabinet, led by 
President Shintaro Shimosawa, 
Vice-President Carrie Kim, Sec¬ 
retary lylce Shugall, and Trea¬ 
surer Jenny Spritzer, distin¬ 
guished itself by placing in the

Senior Cabinet-A Positive Experience 


Every Senior Cabinet member 
agrees that Senior Cabinet has 
been a positive experience due 
to the focus on community ser¬ 
vice. “This year, we have a dif¬ 
ferent purpose than previous 
years. In the past, we raised 
money for school events; how¬ 
ever, this year the money we 
raised went towards a Christmas 
party for under privileged chil¬ 
dren and for our class gift,” ex- 
plained Treasurer Josh 


Fienberg. 

Senior Cabinet’s activities in¬ 
cluded two community service 
events, as well as Battle of the 
Bands, the Senior gift and the 
Senior West Word. Under the 
leadership of President Elliott 
Malkin, Vice-President Shelly 
Gelber, Secretary Kathy 
Brangan, Treasurer Josh 
Fienberg, the twenty-four mem¬ 
bers proudly accomplished their 
goals.

cobs, who collectively try to 
make Students for Israel all the 
more fun and interesting. Activi¬ 
ties planned include Bake sales 
and other fund raisers, and the 
club is attempting to make con¬ 
tact with other schools in the 
area. 

Israeli Club members work on 
posters promoting education 


and values, help the less fortu¬ 
nate, and generally to promote 
good feelings among racial 
sects. 

Sponsor Alex Miron states, 
“Israeli Club is one that tries to 
join together those who believe 
in Zionism. It provides an oppor¬ 
tunity for students of the same 
culture to meet and socialize.” 

One member added, “Espe¬ 
cially with the situation in the 
Middle East going to be decided 
on January 16th, it is imperative 
to aide the state of Israel all that 
we can. We pray for peace and 
a resolution to all problems con¬ 
cerning the West Bank and Gaza 
Strip. We just want peace.”

Bigger And Better 
Best Describes Chinese Club 


“The Chinese Club just keeps 
improving. The club has grown 
and the students enjoy it more. 
Our activities include banquets 
at various Chinese restaurants. 
The members painted windows 
at a home for mentally-retarded 
adults on Halloween,” Mrs. 
Simone, the Chinese sponsor, 
explains proudly. 

Many new members have 
joined the Chinese Club, making 


the club bigger and better. Under 
the leadership of officers Presi¬ 
dent Simon Law ’91, Vice-Presi¬ 
dent Henry Fan ’91, Treasurer 
Shaw Lin ’91, Secretary John 
Hsing ’92, and ‘IRL’ Grace Tsau 
’92 and Steve Hwang ’91, have 
to make important decisions 
about volunteer work and raising 
money. Chinese Club students 
realize that they are not only 
American, but Chinese-Ameri- 


can also. Some members be¬ 
lieve that joining the club can 
help find another side of them¬ 
selves. They have such a good 
time in the Chinese Club playing 
sports, and cook food and that it 
was better than going home right 
after school! The club gives 
members a chance to learn more 
about their Asian heritage while 
sharing fun activities.

Junior Griselda Vega puts up an argument about an issue discussed. One goal for 
the club is to increase knowledge and appreciation of the environment. 


Committee chairperson, Kristin Carlsen makes a presentation at an Ecology Club 
meeting. Each week a different member acts as chairperson. 



Ecology Club Expands 
To Include Environmental Concerns 


Instead of being only nature- 
oriented, the Ecology Club has 
expanded to include environmen¬ 
tal concerns. The splinter group 
EnAct, the Environmental Action 
Group, sponsored by Physics 
teacher Pat Carroll, continues to 
address issues such as recycling, 
styrofoam removal, and pollu¬ 
tion. Membership in the Ecology 
Club has increased from five to 
fifteen under sponsor Spanish 
teacher Chris Fontana. 

Ecology Club has three goals 
for this year: to increase knowl¬ 
edge and appreciation of the en¬ 
vironment, to assist with the care 
of the prairie, and to make a dif¬ 
ference in the world. EnAct plans 
to perfect and initiate an alumi¬ 
num can recycling project. Nei¬ 
ther club has officers as a way of 
increasing individual participa¬ 
tion. 

The Ecology Club and EnAct 


both hope to increase awareness 
of the environmental problems in 
our society. Fontana sums up this 
urgency by stating, “In the next 
ten years, the human race will 
collectively decide on survival or 
genocide. I hope the Ecology 
Club helps all of us choose sur¬ 
vival, in concrete ways. Junior 
Kristen Carlsen describes Ecol¬ 
ogy Club as a group of people 
from different ages and back¬ 
grounds united to help raise envi¬ 
ronmental consciousness and to 
help improve land here in our 
own greenhouse and prairie and 
around the world. Senior Mike 
Janecek defines EnAct as a 
group of students who show envi¬ 
ronmental concern and want to 
do something about it while they 
still can. Both clubs work at rais¬ 
ing consciousness about vital en¬ 
vironmental matters.

Maintaining Culture And Tradition 


For most students, Greece is a 
country from which gyros and 
legendary mythological stories 
come from. But is there anything 
else to this small, mountainous 
European country? Students can 
discover the truth by dropping by 
a meeting of the Hellenic club. 
Open to anybody, the Hellenic 
club exists to educate its mem¬ 
bers about the traditions and cul¬ 
ture of Greece. The club, under 
the leadership of president Ka¬ 
tina Kouris, vice president Kathy 


Vagenas, and faculty advisor Ar¬ 
nold Agnos has broadened its 
horizons to include a spring field 
trip and a bake sale. 

Commenting on the club, 
president Katina Kouris said, 
"Just being part of the action 
and getting to know the mem¬ 
bers has been a lot of fun.” Mr. 
Agnos added, "We are still grow¬ 
ing in interest and hopefully in 
number. We are definitely moving 
forward.”

Several members of the Hellenic Club practice their traditional dancing for Interna¬ 
tional Night. Rehearsals are always needed to perfect the steps. 


President Katina Kouris and Vice-President Kathy Vagenas set up the Greek Hasa¬ 
piko Dance. This dance performed at International Night was a great success.

“It’s Your 
Move!” 


“It’s your move!” This state¬ 
ment can be heard many times 
at Chess Club. ‘‘The Chess Club 
is not as bad as people make it 
out to be. It is actually fun. You 
get to meet new people and 
have a good time!”, as said by 
Josh Davis. ‘‘The N.W. Chess 
Team was 2-3 in conference this 
year in the North Shore League. 
We will compete in the State 
Tournament and hope to finish 
the year off strong.”, quoted Da¬ 
vid Brandes, the team’s sponsor.

Car Club Celebrates Its 
Fourth Year 



Radio Control Car Club members 
Dimitris Koutsiotis, Mike Powers and Pe¬ 
ter Raucci prepare for another hallway 
race during a meeting. This club claims 
eight members in its fourth year. 


The charging of batteries allows racers 
to make minor repairs to their cars. Mem¬ 
bers raced against other cars for the first 
time. 



The grinding of motors of rac¬ 
ing engines often rings through 
the hallways after school at the 
weekly meetings of the Radio 
Control Car Club. Already in its 
fourth year, the club now claims 
eight members. “It may not 
sound like a lot, but its enough to 
get good races in the hallways.” 
explained club president Mike 


Powers. For the first time, the 
club plans to race against other 
radio control car racers at I IT. 
According to junior club member 
Bill Rinkor, “We’re going to get a 
chance to race other cars, build 
cars from materials they give us 
and see who builds the better 
race car.”

Signing The Contract 
For Life 


“I agree to call you for advice 
on transportation at any hour if I 
have been drinking or a friend 
who is driving me has been 
drinking,” promises any student 
signing the Contract For Life, an 
oath taken when a student be¬ 
comes a member of Students 
Against Driving Drunk. 

Although alcohol-related car 
collisions remain the number 
one killer of American teenagers, 
three-thousand fewer crashes 
occurred last year than in the 
previous year as a result of 
SADD members communicating 
with peers, parents and the com¬ 
munity. 

Thirty-five to forty-five mem¬ 
bers who understand the impor¬ 
tance of the issue attend SADD 
Chapter meeting. Each year 
SADD, sponsored by Chief of 
Security, James Puff, partici¬ 
pates in a variety of activities. In 
the past years, members have 
joined the Skokie Police Depart¬ 
ment for Sock-Hop with a Cop 
that aired on local cable chan¬ 
nels around the country. 

During Prom week, SADD 


placed a wrecked car on the 
front lawn to show students what 
happens when they drink and 
drive. A mirror-lined coffin in the 
cafeteria helped to get the mes¬ 
sage across that “When You 
Drink and Drive ... You Die.” 
Club sponsor, James Puff re¬ 
ports, “We have been getting a 
lot of positive responses to our 
program and what we stand for.” 

Explaining how he feels about 
being a member, club President 
Matt Novoselsky says, “SADD 
gives me the opportunity to warn 
students of the dangers of 
drunken driving and makes me 
feel like I’ve accomplished 
something.” 

“I feel like I’m saving someone 
elses life as well as my own by 
being a member of SADD and 
urging the message to others not 
to drink and drive,” stated mem¬ 
bership Vice-President, Donna 
Peterson. 

Over the years, SADD has 
grown and members have partic¬ 
ipated in more activities as they 
continue their life and death 
work.

“Better To Light One Candle 
Than To Curse The Darkness” 


The 
words of 
Peter Ben- 
e n s o n , 
founder of 
Amnesty 
Interna¬ 
tional, re¬ 
call an an¬ 
cient Chi¬ 
nese prov¬ 
erb that 
serves as 
an inspir¬ 
ing reminder to a group of social¬ 
ly aware students who have re¬ 
solved to take action to defend 
human rights around the world. 
Friends of Amnesty, founded 
three years ago, proves a new 
generation does care about our 
earth and its problems. 


Amnesty attempts to promote 
an awareness of civil rights viola¬ 
tions against “prisoners of con¬ 
science — those people de¬ 
tained for their beliefs, race, sex, 
language, religion, or ethnic ori¬ 
gin, who have neither used or ad¬ 
vocated violence” according to 
the Al mandate. Chapters of the 
global organization pressure gov¬ 
ernments to free political prison¬ 
ers through letterwriting cam¬ 
paigns and signed petitions. The 
peaceful organization attempts 
to correct injustices by using pen, 
paper, and publicity. Members 
hope their individual contribu¬ 
tions of time and effort will suc¬ 
ceed in making a difference with 
the help of other concerned indi¬ 
viduals. As co-coordinator Sue 
Park explained, “Many people 


don’t care about what goes on in 
the world unless it has a direct 
effect upon their own lives. Am¬ 
nesty International wants to put 
an end to that kind of apathy 
which has no place in a world 
with as many problems as ours.” 

Goals for Friends of Amnesty 
include an increase in the club’s 
organization and productivity, 
fund raising to help defray post¬ 
age costs, and spreading an 
awareness of the organization 
with the help of guest speakers, 
articles in community newspa¬ 
pers, and interviews on local ra¬ 
dio stations. The club continues 
to respond to “Urgent Actions,” 
an advisory bulletin from Al 
which briefs members on new 
cases, and to send homemade 
cards to prisoners during the holi¬ 


days, but it hopes more students 
will become involved and join 
them. 

Sponsor and five-year member 
of Al Edwin Drobny describes the 
organization as a “fine group of 
students who demonstrate a real 
commitment encouraging human 
rights throughout the world." 
Commitment has turned into ac¬ 
tion because of the increased or¬ 
ganization of this year’s club un¬ 
der the leadership of Park and 
fellow co-ordinator Veronica Nul-! 
man, secretary Yvette Gatilao, 
and treasurer Leslie Rhee. They 
hope Friends of Amnesty will not 
stop after lighting the aforemen-^ 
tioned candle; they want to ignite! 
a fire!

I’d Rather Be Bowling! 


The Academic Bowl team continues to 
uphold a tradition of successfully competing 
against such worthy opponents as Maine 
East and Evanston after losing last year’s 
entire Varsity line-up. The group, sponsored 
by math and computer teacher Carl Geis 
and English teacher Faith Shapiro, has 
maintained a high level of success despite 
the return of only three members of the prior 
season’s conference-winning team. The 
“bowlers” hope to remain undefeated 
throughout the current season, and it 
seems they possess the brain-power to 
achieve their goal. 

The team participates throughout the 
school year in two different forms of compe¬ 


tition. The traditional meet consists of repre¬ 
sentatives from two schools, each with five- 
member line-ups, attempting to combine 
speed and accuracy when buzzing into an¬ 
swer questions from fields including history, 
geography, mathematics, English, science, 
and fine and practical arts. The AUK pits 
entire teams from across the nation against 
each other as they simultaneously answer 
queries ranging from architecture to useless 
trivia via a computer program. 

A student becomes a bowler after a 
teacher recommends him or her as a knowl¬ 
edgeable individual who might benefit the 
team. Recruited students do not usually quit 
unless other afterschool activities demand 


their attention. Members often develop a 
field of specialty, furthering their knowledge 
of an area in which they excel in school. 

Bowlers describe practice as playing 
Jeopardy with the added benefit of 
Shapiro’s homebaked goodies. The 
coaches describe the activity as both aca¬ 
demic and a tremendous amount of fun. 
Three year member Rana Abbasi explained, 
"We’re often perceived as nerds in an aca¬ 
demic club, but anyone who has ever joined 
us for practice can see although we want to 
win, we maintain a relaxed non-competitive 
atmosphere and we have a lot of fun.” 


The Academic Bowl line-up represents a diverse pool 
of knowledge acquired from years of learning. Juniors 
and seniors dominate the team because of their in¬ 
creased experience in the classroom.

Photography editor Amjad Shehade

in the next issue of West Word. The

per production class. 


For the West Word Staff, pro¬ 
ducing a newspaper every two 
weeks is not a simple process, it 
involved a collaboration of writ¬ 
ers, photographers, and editors 
to make each issue readable, in¬ 
teresting, and accurate. Many 
look at the newspaper exper¬ 
ience as something “closer to the 
real world.” Ian Lipner stated, 


“West Word is more intune with 
the outside world than are other 
activities.” For example, Dan 
Grois, business director, is con¬ 
stantly in communication with ac¬ 
tual business establishments, 
making advertisement deals. The 
photographers deal with camera 
stores for developing. Elliot Mal¬ 
kin, co-editor-in-chief, said, 


“West Word has been a great ex¬ 
perience for me. Sure, it’s a lot of 
hard work, but I’ve learned things 
not taught in classrooms. Things 
that will stay with me for my ca¬ 
reer, and the rest of my life.” Dur¬ 
ing the school year the staff pub¬ 
lished 15 issues including a spe¬ 
cial winter holiday one and the 
traditional final senior issue. 



Brainstorming for the next issue of the paper occurs immediately after publication. Journalists Abbie Greene, Michael Dizon an Ian 
Lipner share possible story ideas.

Spectrum “Knows” Yearbooking 


Off to a great start, making 
deadline, after deadline the 
Spectrum staff worked hard to 
produce the best quality year¬ 
book they possibly could. The 
theme “West Knows,” was con¬ 
ceived and finalized by senior 
staff member Steve Roelle. 

Deleting the title of individual 


section editors, the class worked 
together on story, headline and 
caption writing. Photographer 
Desi Mulingbayan could be spot¬ 
ted at many pep assemblies, 
special events and clubs in addi¬ 
tion to just checking out student 
life with his camera close at 
hand. Staff members consisted 


of thirteen seniors, four juniors, 
three sophomores, five fresh¬ 
men, eager to help out with any¬ 
thing that needed to be com¬ 
pleted for the fifty-two page 
monthly deadline. 

No difficult problems occurred. 
A few lost stories and supplies. 
In the end everything was re¬ 


covered and things finished 
smoothly. 

The staff increased slightly 
from the previous year. Through 
hard work and long hours all staff 
members contributed to the 
tasks of letting the student body 
be reminded that “WEST 
KNOWS.” 



Carefully looking over the finished 
story, seniors Geoff Dubey and Dana 
Drexler help each other find those little 
mistakes. Many students go to the writing 
center to put the finishing touches on that 
special assignment. 


With diligence senior Rana Abbasi works on her layouts to assure a prompt 
yearbook. Yearbook production provides the opportunity to be as creative as they 
want.

Countdown To Summer 
A Popular Pastime 


Count downs begin and the 
feeling of the approaching sum¬ 
mer vacation fills the class¬ 
rooms. Passing through the halls 
a student may hear “only 12 
days, 1 hr., 58 min., and 6 sec., 
left.” Minds go through melt¬ 
down, while the halls fill with 
chaos. Vacation has started 
early, as usual. 

Dreams of the lazy days of 
summer flood the minds of stu¬ 
dents. They drown out teachers 
voices with the sounds of waves 
from their imaginary oceans. 
Many gaze out the windows in a 
stiff glazed-over stare, oblivious 
to their present surroundings. 
This absent-mindedness began 
during spring vacation, and yet it 
still lingers on. 

Lying on the grass, students 
catch some rays between their 


classes. The lawn becomes the 
cafeteria as vacation ap¬ 
proaches. Clad in shorts, tank- 
tops, and sun-glasses, students 
prepare themselves for the lazy 
days of summer. 

Finally the last day of school 
approaches. Notebooks fly 
through the hallways as students 
relieve their aggravation from fi¬ 
nals. They now have three 
months to forget about books, 
teachers, homework, and most 
importantly school! 

Vivid memories flash before 
their eyes. Yet another year 
winds to a close, and not a mo¬ 
ment too soon. Some students 
utter, “See ya soon,” while Sen¬ 
iors say, “Hasta la vista, baby!” 
Students flood through the doors 
proclaiming themselves FREE at 
last. 



Sitting patiently, freshman Adam Levinson gets wrapped up by Brian “Doc” 
Katzman before practice. Many athletes come to Doc for assistance with sport related 
injuries. 

Varsity cheerleaders conclude their routine with a formation poise. Cheerleaders

Freshman-Senior Finale 


As the last bell rings on that 
last day of class, seniors scream 
and yell that their four year 
prison sentence has ended. 
While freshmen year might have 
been a preparation for hell, in 
reality senior year was a dream 
come true. As freshmen, stu¬ 
dents learned some tough les¬ 
sons, but as seniors they pleas¬ 
antly remembered such lessons 
and quickly became the teach¬ 
ers. 

Freshmen year seemed the 
scariest, but students learned 
many important lessons and 
facts. Dodging pennies improved 
reflexes and added to the pocket 
book. Also, they discovered no 
classrooms exist on the fourth 


floor or in the basement and the 
school has more than just the 
center staircase. They learned 
that the round tables excluded 
some people, and that those 
who sat at these tables could 
budge in the lunch line. Fool¬ 
ishly, they might even have 
bought a collectors pass before 
realizing the elevator remains 
off-limits. 

Senior year represented per¬ 
fection despite wide-spread 
senioritis. Seniors took full ad¬ 
vantage of peak social life and 
utilized many of the facts learned 
as freshmen. Tossing pennies 
improved their aim and added to 
an underclassman’s allowance. 
Sitting at the round tables 


seemed pretty cool and gave 
them a secret power to enter the 
lunch line wherever their hearts 
desired. Lastly, they even found 
out that those dumb elevator 
passes they bought as freshmen 
would have a nice resale value. 

As the school year ends, 
freshmen breathe a sigh of relief, 
for their torture has ended and 
they can look forward to becom¬ 
ing sophomores. The reign of the 
seniors has ended, and as they 
proceed to college they can 
laugh at all they have put the 
poor freshmen through. Only 
later will they realize that they 
are going to be freshmen all over 
again.
